My research focuses on applying mathematical modeling to complex systems. I earned my B.S. in Physics from the University of Crete (2018) and my Ph.D. in Computational Quantum Chemistry from Rice University (2023). + +Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in the Liu Lab at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital where I develop machine learning models for biomedical informatics. My notable contributions include **PINN-extrapolation** ([arxiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.12659), [pub](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-032-04555-3_24)), a method for increasing physics-informed neural network extrapolation accuracy by 40% with minimal added computational cost, and **PFCGR** ([arxiv](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.03.657533v2.abstract), [pub](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11273393)), a machine learning pipeline for genomic sequence analysis that is 90% faster than DNABERT with similar performance.
