M.S. Computer Science, B.S. & M.S. Computer Engineering

I joined Archimedean at its beginning, in the summer of 2002. Based on my engineering background, this was not an ordinary step, but it is consistent with my interest in learning and communicating knowledge and ideas.

I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s of Engineering from Patras University in Greece with a degree in Computer Engineering and Informatics, and my Master’s of Science in Computer Science from Rice University in Houston, Texas.

In 2005, I joined the graduate program in Education of Mathematics and Science at the University of Miami.

My interest in education and learning has been strong since my early college years and is reflected in 16 years of studies, research, and teaching at the universities of Patras (Greece), Rice (Texas), Miami (Florida), and Florida International University.

Since 1997, I have gained valuable experience teaching students of several ages and levels—from 1st grade to undergraduate studies—in subjects primarily including Mathematics, Greek, and Computer Science.

Through my professional experience in the corporate world, both in Greece at Advanced Informatics Ltd. and in the United States at Intel Corporation, I gained significant knowledge and understanding of market dynamics, management, customer relations, and communication.

Since my early school years, I developed a strong interest in mathematics. This interest was further strengthened through my involvement with the Hellenic Mathematical Society.

While in high school, I received the bronze medal in the Panhellenic Mathematical Olympiad twice, in 1987 and 1989.

In the summer of 1990, I represented Greece as a member of the national team in the 31st International Mathematical Olympiad in Beijing, China.

My interest in mathematics matured during my undergraduate and graduate studies and research in the area of Theoretical Computer Science. First at Rice University, and later at Archimedean, my passion for mathematics found an outlet through teaching.

While teaching at Archimedean Academy, I was given the opportunity to take on several leadership roles, including Chair of the Mathematics Department, Chair of Grade Level, and Chair of EESAC. I also became directly involved in the curriculum development and planning of the school.

In 2008, Archimedean opened its senior high school, Archimedean Upper Conservatory, and I was honored to be offered the position of the Founding Director of the school.

My objective as the leader of Archimedean Upper Conservatory is to create a culture of respect, open-mindedness, and competitive spirit, where education is highly valued.

I take great pride and joy in seeing our students grow wiser and become successful, both individually and collectively.

The ranking of our school among the Top 10 high schools in the state of Florida within its second year of operation is evidence that success is not a matter of age, but rather a matter of dedication, hard work, and wisdom.
