I am a postdoctoral researcher working at NYU and GMU. My area of interest is cryptography, specifically used for authentication and data integrity,  with a focus on user privacy, and I design and study proofs that support outsourced storage applications and/or cryptocurrencies. I finished my PhD at GMU where I worked with Prof. Foteini Baldimtsi and I am a Protocol Labs fellowship award recipient. I got a BS degree in Applied Informatics from UOM, Greece in 2019 and a BS degree in Mathematics from AUTH, Greece in 2014.  I was a research intern at IBM Research, Zurich for summer 2020 and a research intern at Visa Research, Palo Alto for summer 2022.
