I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Radiology, Washington University in St. Louis, affiliated with the Institute for Informatics. My research is in the area of medical image analysis and machine learning, with applications to brain development and aging. I focus on developing novel computational methods to extract information from imaging data and delineate patterns in large heterogeneous data sets, towards improving patient-specific diagnosis and advancing our understanding of brain structure and function in health and disease.
Before joining WashU, I was a Research Associate at the Section of Biomedical Image Analysis, University of Pennsylvania, working with Prof. Christos Davatzikos on unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning techniques to analyze high-dimensional heterogeneous neuroimaging data.
I did my PhD in the Center of Visual Computing at Ecole Centrale Paris, under the supervision of Prof. Nikos Paragios. There, I developed novel deformable image registration methods based on discrete optimization and probabilistic graphical models.
Prior to that, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens (ECE-NTUA).
