Interdisciplinary researcher with a background in biomedical and computer engineering
I am a biomedical engineer and health data scientist, in the process of transitioning from academic research to using my skills to help improve the health of people in urban environments.
My research focus has been modelling of dynamic complex systems. I initially worked on biomechanical models of the human arm, to help design prosthetic hands, and assistive technologies for people with paralysis. Since joining the Aberdeen Centre for Health Data Science, I started applying my modelling methods to other healthcare problems. For example, I built an epidemiological model to help NHS Grampian with their response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I now aim to use my modelling and data science skills, as well as my experience in public engagement, to directly help my local community. Iām specifically interested in active mobility, and reducing the reliance on cars, as a way to improve the health and quality of life of people living in my home city of Athens, Greece.
