About Me

Greece Office Switzerland Office

I am the Head of Project Management at ORamaVR Switzerland, and CEO of ORamaVR Greece. A computer scientist who specializes in Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality. I obtained both my BSc and MSc in Computer Science from the University of Crete. During my MSc, I worked with a 2-year scholarship at a research lab at ICS-FORTH focusing on Virtual Reality. As a researcher, my interests and research were centered around psychomotor interaction and embodied presence in VR.

As a professional, my scope expanded to Extended Reality. As a programmer at heart, I have a huge admiration for the Computer Graphics and the Gaming industry for their astonishing advancements in the last decades. Having been promoted from being a programmer to managing ORamaVR in Greece, my new interests are now in solving business and medical challenges using computer science.
