Who am I?

I love minimalism, simplicity, and honesty. In social terms, I am an Electrical and Biomedical Engineer (MEng + MSc) interested in the development of human-centered AI. I am currently conducting my Ph.D. research at the University of Dusseldorf. I occasionally publish blog posts on AI Summer. Previous AI research projects that I consciously participated in include radiotherapy research for people with cancer (2020), Greek Sign Language solution systems (2019) and educational games for people with disabilities (2018).
