I am an R&D Scientist at the Systems Science and Engineering Division of the U.S. Department of Energy Idaho National Laboratory (INL). I enjoy working at the intersection of control theory and algorithms, mathematical optimization, and applied artificial intelligence and machine learning, to enable energy systems and multi-domain critical infrastructure to work seamlessly, safely, securely, and economically, in more connected and contested environments. With direction and support from our research sponsors across the Department of Energy and the Department of Homeland Security, our ongoing activities are empowering advanced nuclear reactor development and integration, renewable-centered energy grids, and cyber-physically secure information networks and analytics for the development and sustainment of energy-rich, green, and safe communities.I obtained my PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2018, where I worked with Prof. E. Bakolas on optimization-based nonlinear control of input constrained systems. Following my graduation and before joining DOE/INL I had the opportunity to work with the Computational and Information Sciences Directorate of the US Army Futures Command DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi, MD. My journey in engineering and research started during my undergraduate studies at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece.
Listed skills include Real Time Control Systems, Flight Simulation, Linux, State Estimation, and 15 others.
