Mike Xydas

For my BSc, I studied Computer Science at the University of Athens where I graduated in 2019. I continued pursuing the Data Science field by enrolling in the DSIT MSc program at the University of Athens with a specialization in A.I. and Big Data. Currently in my 2nd and final year of the program, I am aiming to complete my thesis on using A.I. for solving table understanding and verbalization problems under the supervision of Dr. Georgia Koutrika.

In parallel with my MSc studies, I am working as a research assistant at the Athena Research and Innovation Center under the supervision of Dr. Georgia Koutrika. Currently, I am working on the design and implementation of the EOSC Future European project where the goal is to give European researchers access to a wide web of FAIR data and related services. Our team specifically focuses on an improved Recommender System for the portal offering a better experience for both the user and the provider.
