Prior to that, Nikos completed an MEng at the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical sciences of NTUA, where his thesis "Calibration of Hadronic Jets using Machine Learning" focused on the study of angular distributions of jets recorded at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
Research Interests
His research and work experience focus on machine learning, data mining and graph analysis.
PhD research on "How Unfair is Sticking to your own Opinion? Fairness in Opinion Formation Dynamics"
Abstract: We introduce fairness in opinion formation dynamics under the Friedkin–Johnsen model. Defining influence as a node’s impact on final opinions, we propose minimal interventions in order to balance influence across competing groups. We derive closed-form equations, design algorithms, and validate them on synthetic and real networks.
