About me

I am a sixth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. My interests are primarily centered around Computer Architecture with emphasis on hardware support for increasing debugging ability in modern systems. I am currently working on Log-Based Architectures (LBA) project, with my advisor Prof. Babak Falsafi and the fellow LBAers. Before joining CMU, I received an MSc (2006) and a BSc (2004) in Computer Science from the University of Crete in Greece. From 2003 to 2006 I was also affiliated with the Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH), where I had the opportunity to collaborate with many bright people under an excellent research environment.
