I am an Assistant Professor in Psychology at Dublin City University (DCU; Ireland, Dublin), where I conduct research on spatial cognition, STEM learning, and reading comprehension through visual arts (comics). I supervise both undergraduate and postgraduate students and teach and coordinate modules across various programs, including the BSc. in Psychology and two DCU Futures initiative programs: BSc. in Psychology and Mathematics and BSc. in Psychology and Disruptive Technologies. My teaching portfolio includes the modules: Cognition across the Lifespan, Educational Psychology, eJournal Club: Human and Societal Enhancement, Science Communication and Media Skills, and Computational Psychiatry

Before joining DCU, I was a Post-Doctoral Associate in Learning Analytics and Managing Co-Director at the Learning Informatics Lab at the University of Minnesota (USA, Minnesota, Minneapolis). I also served as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the SellSTEM Marie Skłodowska-Curie ITN (Ireland, Dublin), where I continue to supervise two PhD MSCA Fellows. 

I hold a Ph.D. in Cognitive and Experimental Psychology and an MA in Cognitive and Educational Psychology from the University of Cyprus (Cyprus, Nicosia), as well as a BA in Education Sciences in Early Childhood from the University of Thrace (Greece, Alexandroupolis). 

During my Ph.D. at the University of Cyprus (Cyprus, Nicosia), I taught and coordinated the modules: Educational Psychology, the Psychology of Happiness and Adaptive Behavior, the R language, and the Neuroscience of Behavior. Additionally, I was a Visiting Lecturer at the Frederick Institute of Technology (Cyprus, Nicosia), where I taught courses in the modules: Psychology of Learning, and Developmental Psychology. 

My diverse experience in teaching and research reflects my commitment to advancing the field of Cognitive & Educational Psychology and fostering the academic growth of my students.
