About Me
My name is Ilias (pronounced “ee-lee-ahs” or “ee-ly-ahs”), and I’m a PhD student at The University of Edinburgh. I’m part of the Vios Science Lab under the guidance of Prof. Sotos Tsaftaris and Dr. Steven McDonagh.
Before embarking on my PhD, I completed my MSc in Computer Science at Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB). I was supervised by Prof. Ion Androutsopoulos. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to work as an Applied Machine Learning Researcher at helvia.ai, specializing in Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models.
I’m also an active member of the NLP Group at AUEB, where we conduct research in NLP and Machine Learning.
Feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in collaborating or if you have any questions about my research!
