Quick Bio

I am an Assistant Professor at Imperial College London (Department wiki and Lab wiki). I am also a co-founded at the AI Sequrity Company). In my academic research, I focus on Efficient AI related topics - from new algorithmic designs to building AI accelerators. At my startup work, I am currently building the first secure AI agentic flows.

Prior to that, I was a Research Fellow at St John’s College, University of Cambridge. I had my PhD studies at the Computer Lab of the University of Cambridge, supervised by Prof. Robert Mullins, and I also finished an MPhil degree in the same lab. Before that, I obtained my Electrical and Electronic Engineering BEng degree from the Imperial College London with my final two years supervised by Prof. George Constantinides. During my BEng studies, I was tutored by Dr. Papavassiliou.

I have previously worked at various placements and have taken part-time research positions at Microsoft Research and Apple AI/ML. I sometimes review and serve as Area Chairs for several hardware, system, and machine learning conferences, including ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS, CVPR, etc.

I was a recipient of the Junior Research Fellowship at St John’s College, the University of Cambridge in 2021, and was awarded as an Apple Scholar in AI and ML in 2020.
