I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Enlightened Disagreement of the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, where I also completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science. Prior to this, I completed my undergraduate and master’s studies in Greece.

My research aims to deepen our understanding of the factors hindering online interactions and to enhance democratic deliberation. I combine artificial intelligence and psychology to build models that reveal biases against groups with different beliefs. My recent work examines the closed-mindedness of online political spaces and explores using large language models to foster constructive interactions.
