Asst. Professor at TU Delft and Amazon Scholar (AWS).

I lead the Data-intensive Systems Group at TU Delft. I work in the broad area of data systems research; most of my research at the moment focuses on Cloud application runtimes, and data discovery. Over the years, my research has found applications in multiple real-world systems, including Apache Flink, and systems within Amazon's Cloud. Before joining TU Delft in 2017, I held positions at the SAP Innovation Center, as well as at TU Berlin, working with Volker Markl. I received my PhD from INRIA Saclay/Université Paris-Sud 11 in 2013, supervised by Ioana Manolescu. I completed my BSc and MSc at the University of Cyprus, working with Marios Dikaiakos.
