Entering a hiatus

The countdown to the Panhellenic Entrance Examination has begun for me, with the exams scheduled for June 2026. As I prepare for this important milestone, I’ll be gradually reducing my involvement in various projects. I hope to see you at the Department of Computer Science at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki! Until then, feel free to reach out to me via email.
