I am currently a fifth year graduate student in Princeton University under the supervision of Peter Sarnak. I obtained my undergraduate degree from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. As of Fall 2024 I am on the academic job market.
I am broadly interested in the geometry of numbers, homogeneous dynamics and analytic number theory. A large part of my work is focused on understanding the spectra of polynomial differential operators acting on local geometries. I am also interested in applying tools from homogeneous dynamics to count integer or prime points on varieties.
