I earned my BA in Greek Philology specializing in Linguistics from Aristotle University, Thessaloniki. I continued my studies obtaining an MSc in Computational Linguistics and Formal Grammar, and a PhD in Linguistics, both from King’s College, London. I have worked at Royal Holloway, University of London, the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the Open University of Cyprus and the University of Gothenburg.

Research Interests |
My research interests lie at the intersection of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Theoretical Linguistics.. My work spans Natural Language Inference, Dialogue Modelling, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-assisted LLM generation, Semantic Parsing, Sentiment Analysis, Metaphor Detection, Formal Semantics and Syntax, Interactive Theorem Proving for natural language semantics, Computational Dialectology, Constructive Type-Theoretical Semantics and their computational implementation, Probabilistic Semantics, developing NLP resources for under-resourced languages, and exploring the interaction between symbolic logic-based approaches and Machine Learning/Deep Learning methods for linguistic problems.
