Background
I did my PhD at the University of Amsterdam, under the supervision of Prof. Maarten de Rijke and Edgar Meij. During my PhD, I interned at Bloomberg where I worked on knowledge graph contextualization. I also interned at Amazon where I worked on product search and matching.
I obtained my MSc in artificial intelligence from the University of Amsterdam. I did my master thesis on explaining entity relationships in collaboration with Yahoo Labs. The thesis won two national thesis awards (STIL & KION AI). After that I worked at Signal Media as a data scientist.
I studied computer science at the University of Athens.
