About Me

I’m currently a DPhil candidate in the Department of Engineering Science at University of Oxford , as a member of the Control Engineering Group, under the supervision of Prof. Antonis Papachristodoulou and Dr. Konstantinos Gatsis.

Prior to joining the DPhil program, I obtained my master’s degree in Control Systems from Imperial College London , under the supervision of Professor Richard Vinter, and my BEng degree in Detection, Guidance and Control from Northwestern Polytechnical University.

Outside of academia, I am a violinist at Hertford College Orchestra.
