I am a fourth-year PhD student supervised by Agelos Georgakopoulos.
You can catch me at the Durham Geometry and Topology Seminar (26/1), the Erdos Center Drafting Workshop in Discrete Mathematics and Probability (6-8/2), and the Bristol Geometry and Topology Seminar (14/2).
Academic Background
I obtained my BSc in Mathematics from the University of Athens in 2019. My (unofficial) advisor was Dimitrios M. Thilikos. In 2021 I also obtained an MSc in Pure Mathematics from the University of Athens under the guidance of Christos Athanasiadis. Here is my CV.
Research Interests
I am interested in topological graph theory, group actions, Cayley graphs, and combinatorics in general.
Teaching
During my time in Warwick, I have been a TA for the following classes: Combinatorics, Discrete Mathematics and its Applications I & II, Graph Theory. I have compiled a collection of standard problems aimed at students who are taking their first class in combinatorics.
I have also delivered preparatory lectures for mathematical competitions, both in Athens and in Warwick. I was the deputy leader of the University of Warwick team for IMC 2020 and IMC 2021.
