About
👋 Hello,
I am an AI researcher and PhD candidate in Chemistry at the University of Crete, where I work with the Materials Modeling & Design Group. My work brings together Artificial Intelligence 🤖, chemistry 🧪, and materials science ⚛️.
My research focuses on AI for materials discovery, particularly developing machine learning methods that learn efficiently from data and generalize across porous materials. I work on data-driven representations, predictive models, and foundation models for porous materials, while also exploring generative and inverse-design approaches for discovering novel materials.
If you would like to learn more about my earlier work on machine learning and deep learning for porous materials, take a look at my master’s thesis. You can also experiment with machine learning models for porous materials through AIdsorb-online.
Beyond research, I enjoy learning about science and AI and contributing to open-source projects. Outside academia, I’m fascinated by mechanical watches and traditional menswear, especially their history, design, and craftsmanship ❤️.
Βελτίων ἡ ἐξ ἐλαττόνων.
