Title: Machine Learning applications for characterizing brain-damaged patients’ level of consciousness
Brief Synopsis: In my thesis I applied Machine Learning techniques on functional neuroimaging data for characterizing the level of consciousness
of patients with damaged brains. The results provided important information for the neural correlates of consciousness.
Additionally, a Python library for processing medical images, which can be used as a complementary tool
to the behavioral assessments, was developed and validated.

I have been born and raised in Athens Greece. I went to school in Athens and had my BA studies in the neighboring city of Piraeus.
During my BA I got fascinated by μCs and electronics. Therefore, I made my first programming steps with C and Assembly. In my first internship I was lucky
enough to work with experts in μCs and thus I decided to have my dissertation in programing an Atmel for controlling a 5-DOF robot-arm.
After that I has a short pass from the Mathematics department of the University of Patras, in which I am still enrolled and from time time
I follow some courses (more like single subject courses out of personal interest). During one of these courses I saw an announcement for the interdisciplinary
MA program entitled "Electronics & Information Processing". I decided to enroll and in the end I graduated with 8.39/10. I gained a lot of knowledge in
image processing, data analysis and Embedded Systems. In the MA studies In the MA course Biomedical imaging I worked with medical images.
Brain imaging and the information that comes with it regarding the neural correlates got finally my attention.
So, I decided to proceed to a PhD in Neurosciences, which I aim to finish in May 2019.
