I am a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT CSAIL, working with Prof. Nicholas Roy. I am a member of the Robust Robotics Group. My research focuses on motion and task planning in partially known or completely unknown environments. I am particularly interested in developing algorithms that make autonomous robots capable of interacting with the physical environment around them and solving tasks that require autonomous mobile manipulation. To this end, I frequently employ tools from motion planning, topology and perception.

I obtained a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Prof. Daniel Koditschek at the GRASP Lab. I also hold a M.S.E. from the University of Pennsylvania and a Diploma from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), both in Mechanical Engineering.
