 Biographical Sketch

I received my BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens in 1999. Then, I moved to San Diego, California, where I received my M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2000 and 2004 respectively, at the Computer Science and Engineering Department of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The area of my expertise is database systems. My advisor was Yannis Papakonstantinou.
