I am the Deputy Director of the Aberdeen Centre for Health Data Science, and the coordinator of the MSc Health Data Science.
I am an interdisciplinary health researcher with a background in biomedical and computer engineering. I received my B.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. I went on to earn my M.Sc. and PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, USA.
My research focus is developing modelling tools, with a particular interest in human movement. I am passionate about improving research culture and promoting open and reproducible research practices. I am also an advocate for diversity in health science and technology.
