I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Enlightened Disagreement of the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, where I also completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science. Prior to this, I completed my undergraduate and master’s studies in Greece.

My research addresses challenges in understanding and constructively navigating conflicts that arise in complex social structures, such as social media and organizations. I adopt an interdisciplinary approach, combining psychological theory with computational methods. Ongoing projects leverage large language models to build psychologically informed computational measures and depolarize political cross-party conversations.
