About

I am a Computer Science undergraduate at Ionian University and an AI/ML research assistant working across machine learning, deep learning, explainable AI, natural language processing, and retrieval-augmented generation.

At the Humanistic and Social Informatics Lab (HILab), Ionian University, I work on transformer-based NLP, interpretable machine learning, and scientific AI — including a legal-domain BERT model for named-entity recognition and anonymization, a layer-wise study of transformer explainability, an efficient-attention approach to protein-structure prediction, and an investigation of expressivity, trainability, and gradient scaling in variational quantum classifiers. During my Erasmus+ exchange at Sapienza University of Rome, I conduct research at the PSSM Lab, DIAG, under Prof. Massimo Mecella, where I lead the development of LegalSENN, an intrinsically interpretable transformer architecture for legal document classification. I have also worked in industry as an AI researcher, evaluating large language and multimodal models and building reproducible PyTorch evaluation tooling.

My research has resulted in four peer-reviewed publications and two manuscripts currently under review. I am broadly interested in building AI systems that are accurate, transparent, and reliable enough for real-world deployment.
