23 | | -In my free time I like exploring new AI architectures & techniques. When I feel like changing scenes, I enjoy playing with electronics (from designing and soldering circuits - to programming), networks, databases, etc. Usually, I accompany such projects with some sort of DIY crafting. |

27 | | -Since then, I had a strong feeling that Machine Learning and Deep Learning will be the next big thing. I also had a drive towards data analysis and a passion on putting my hands in dealing with actual issues. |
28 | | - |
29 | | -When I presented my ambitions to my bachelor thesis supervisor, [Dr. Dimitris Iakovidis], I was grateful that he presented me with a few great project ideas. I ended up using Complex Event Processing and training a k-NN algorithm to detect multi-signal patterns on EEG data (thesis written in greek; title translates to _"R&D of multi-channel signal analysis methods for knowledge mining"_). |
30 | | - |
31 | | -Fast forward to my master's thesis, I was much more educated and hyped by the new advances, so I decided to test the ground on Deep Learning. Under the supervision of [Mikael Huss], one of the most charismatic individuals I've met, I implemented and trained a Neural Network to identify different cell types existed in single cell transcriptomic data. The project title is _"[Data-driven definition of cell types based on single-cell gene expression data]"_. |

33 | | -### More Information |
34 | | -I am a Machine Learning / Deep Learning enthousiast, so I enjoy thinking about biological solutions in terms of ML/DL. For my master thesis, I developed a Stacked Denoising AutoEncoder algorithm in order to classify (and potentially identify new) cell types (using human & mouse cortex, single cell gene expression data). You can find the code lying somewhere in my repos[.] |

| 26 | +The term <b>experience collector</b> describes me best; suggest something new and I'm in. Regularly I play <b>football</b>, go <b>bouldering</b> and <b>dancing</b>. I enjoy watching <b>Formula 1</b> and a wide variety of educational material. Lastly, I'm committed to <b>traveling</b>. I love how eye opening is to explore the world, learn history on sight and meet new cultures. |
