I am a PhD student at UMass Amherst, advised by Alexandra Meliou and Peter J. Haas, together with Azza Abouzied of NYU Abu Dhabi. My research is on in-database prescriptive analytics, in particular the incremental maintenance of package queries under evolving data and constraints [project]. More broadly, I am interested in database systems, query optimization, and machine learning for data management. Lately, I am exploring the trust layer for agentic data systems: keeping automated decisions provably correct as data and models change.
Before UMass, I completed an MEng/BSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technical University of Crete, working with Antonios Deligiannakis on random forests under data drift.
