About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and part of the Database Group. My advisor is Prof. Jignesh Patel and my research focuses on making data processing efficient for modern and emerging hardware. I am also interested in Query Optimization.

I received a Bachelor's and a Master's Degree on Computer Science from the University of Athens, Greece. During my studies in Athens, I was part of the MaDgIK group advised by Prof. Yannis Ioannidis.

If you came here looking for Ioannis Chronis, look no further. Ioannis is my official name that nobody uses :)


This fall I will be joining the Systems Research Group at Google!
