Yorgos Pantis

I am a first year Ph.D. student at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and Archimedes/Athena RC, working on theory-driven Machine Learning models, including Transformers and Neural Networks. I am fortunate to be supervised by Christos Tzamos.

Previously, I conducted research at DTU, CTU, Athena RC, and Max Planck, where I specialized in Machine Learning, Optimization, and Natural Language Processing. I also have a solid Statistical and Mathematical background acquired through master's and bachelor's studies at the University of Oxford and University of Patras. I aim to continue expanding my knowledge and pursue a research career.

Before all that, I was lucky to grow up in the village of Agioi Pantes on Zakynthos, an island in Greece; a place full of natural beauty and history.
