Wanting to be on the front line of an aggressively growing industry such as Mixed Reality, I joined HTC VIVE in 2019 as a Developer Relations Engineer, having previously worked as a VR Developer at Framestore, as a Games Programmer on Forza Street at Studio Gobo/Electric Square and as an AR/VR Research Intern at the Technical University of Munich(TUM) and the Institute of Communications & Computer Systems (NTUA). To date, I have worked with Magic Leap, leading the development for the accompanying AR Experience to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald; and with VW Group China Import on the Hyper Reality Test Drive, the world’s first live VR test drive experience.

I am always interested in exploring novel interaction techniques that exploit the unique capabilities of augmented and virtual reality. Highlights of my work include a VR Simulation to evaluate the morality of decisions a driverless car should inevitably make in moral dilemma situations that won 1st place at the Polycount-Unity Connect Contest out of 112 projects and an interactive AR Chess Game that allows seamless manipulation of virtual chess pieces using bare hands that was published in the International Conference on Cyberworlds.

I have received several awards for organizing technical events as part of a team and demonstrating outstanding involvement as an IEEE volunteer, including a 2014 Richard E.Merwin Student Scholarship, a 2012 Regional Exemplary Student Branch Award and a 2012 Outstanding Chapter Award. I was the Head Organiser of the 1st Games Exhibition in Greece (Games Expo 2012), in an effort to bring together students and gaming companies, which was awarded the 2013 Gold Darrel Chong Student Activity Award by IEEE.
