I lived my first ten years in a paraga (a kind of hut) and subsequently in rented houses in the greater Athens area (Hellas). I wish all children on this planet to have had my childhood and adolescent upbringing: simply wonderful.
During my student life I was lucky to find myself in an environment where blossoming were the joy of life, of research, of the resistance to oppression. Understanding and critical thinking became my leading principle.
At some point during the third decade of my life, I managed to start materialising an adolescent dream: to understand the nature and mechanisms of mind. The Research Institute of Cybernetics at Brunel University London offered an unsurpassable intellectual environment for pursuing PhD research.
A naïve want to contribute to the Hellenic University system led me to choose a 5-fold decrease in my income — and an absolute maximization of my free time. I returned to Hellas in 2010. I am currently affiliated with the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens.
In my free time I enjoy travelling the earth and universe, sports, games, reading, music, dancing, and good food and companies. Some of my thoughts and feelings I have expressed in a poetic form.
