Role
Bio
I come from Greece, where I studied Electrical and Computer Engineering. I moved to the UK in 2013 and completed a PhD degree in Cognitive Neuroscience, followed by 4 years of post-doctoral research in the University of Cambridge. I subsequently transitioned to the medtech industry, where I led the research and software development of a cardio-pulmonary medical device for 3 years.
