Education

2013 - Present

University of Bristol, PhD, Computer Science.
Thesis: Whole-System Energy Transparency for energy-aware software development
The goal of the thesis is to bring together or develop new techniques, that will enable the energy characterization of programs to be made early in the software design phase. Some of the main techniques explored in the thesis are energy modelling at various software levels, energy consumption/ time static analysis, assertion languages and energy profiling. The thesis considers both sequential and multi-threaded programs.

Work Experience (Academic)

2013 - Present

Lead Research Associate for the ENTRA (Whole - Systems Energy Transparency) project, Computer Science Department of the University of Bristol.
ENTRA is a 3-year research project funded by the EU 7th Framework Programme Future and Emerging Technologies (FET). The project runs from the 1st October 2012 to the 30th September 2015 and aims to promote “energy-aware” software development using advanced program analysis and modelling of energy consumption in computer systems. The project will facilitate predictions of energy consumption to be made early in the software design phase, thus enabling the development of greener IT products.
Responsibilities: As a lead RA of the project I have to drive the research done at the University of Bristol under the supervision of Dr. Kerstin Eder. My main responsibilities are static analysis for energy consumption/ time, energy modeling at various software levels, developing energy specific optimizations, developing an assertion language for resource usage, writing the projects deliverables, representing the project at various events.

2014

TACLe summer school: As an active member of the “EU COST Action on Timing Analysis on Code-Level” I attended the cost action summer school on 2014, where we were intensively trained on the state of the arts techniques for timing analysis from the lead researchers of the area.

2007 - 2008

Research Assistant, Computer Science Department of the University of Cyprus.
Responsibilities: I was responsible for the visual processing part of the Adaptiveweb project by use of an eye-tracker.

Work Experience (Non-Academic)

Apr 2012 - Jan 2013

Compiler Engineer at Paralant Ltd, a company specialized in providing software tools to help programmers get advantage of the today’s multicore processors.
Responsibilities: Performing static analysis on the LLVM compiler IR to extract the parallelism of programs and creating an Eclipse plugin as the front-end of a tool that deliver this info to developers.

Apr 2011 - Mar 2012

Compiler Engineer at XMOS Ltd, a semiconductor company based in Bristol that develops multi-core multi-threaded processors and a set of programming tools, targeting various embedded applications.
Responsibilities: Working as part of the team responsible for the core compiler development and maintenance.

Nov 2010 - Mar 2011

Intern Developer Engineer at XMOS Ltd, a semiconductor company based in Bristol that develops multi-core multi-threaded processors and a set of programming tools, targeting various embedded applications.
Responsibilities: Continuing my Msc thesis project on extending the in-house compiler with deadlock algorithms that warn multi-threaded communication errors. Also responsible for adapting the EEMBC benchmarks to XMOS architecture.

Aug 2008 - Aug 2009
