About

I am a Ph.D. researcher at the Digital Aviation Research and Technology Centre (DARTeC) at Cranfield University, affiliated with the School of Aerospace, Transport, and Manufacturing (SATM), under the supervision of Prof. Weisi Guo. My work is supported by an EPSRC iCASE award with Thales UK (EP/X52475X/1).

Prior to Cranfield, I received my Diploma from the University of West Attica and worked as an undergraduate intern and then as a Research Associate in the Extreme Robotics Laboratory (ERL) at the University of Birmingham under Dr. Manolis Chiou, where I developed probabilistic methods for variable autonomy robotic systems with a human-in-the-loop, deployed in hazardous environments.

My research sits at the intersection of human-machine teaming, language-conditioned autonomy, and assured control. I am broadly interested in how autonomous systems can take human knowledge seriously as an input to decision-making, and how the channels through which that knowledge enters control can be made observable, principled, and trustworthy rather than treated as an afterthought. I am drawn to problems where messy, human-originated information meets the precision demands of control and learning, and I tend to approach them by building interfaces and abstractions that other researchers can extend, rather than one-off solutions. Search-and-rescue and other safety-critical settings motivate much of this work, but my underlying interest is in portable methods that generalise across application domains.

More broadly, I care about treating the human side of autonomy with the same engineering rigour we reserve for physical sensing and control, while being honest about the boundary between what can be measured and what can only be inferred. My aim is to contribute methods and frameworks to the AI and robotics community that hold up under both empirical and formal scrutiny.
