About


I am a Senior Research Scientist at IBM Research. Prior to my current role I was a Herman H. Goldstine Memorial Postdoctoral Fellow. I received my PhD (2018) and M.Sc (2016) in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, U.S. My dissertation is titled "Domain decomposition algorithms for the solution of sparse symmetric generalized eigenvalue problems" and was supervised by Prof. Yousef Saad. Prior to that, I received M.Sc (2014) and M.Eng (2011) in Computer Engineering and Informatics from the University of Patras, Greece.
