I am a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at the University of Crete, advised by Prof. Angelos Bilas, Prof. Polyvios Pratikakis, and Prof. Shoaib Akram. I am also a graduate research assistant in the Institute of Computer Science (ICS) at the Foundation of Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH). My research lies at the intersection of managed runtimes, memory systems, and operating systems. My doctoral research focuses on scaling managed heaps on fast storage devices, such as NVMe SSDs, to reduce DRAM usage in managed big data applications, primarily through work on the OpenJDK HotSpot and G1 garbage collector, including heap resizing, memory partitioning, and tiered heap management.

I am honored that my current work, during my doctoral studies, was awarded with the Meta Research PhD Fellowship (2022-2024) and the State Scholarship Foundation of Cyprus (2020-2023).
