About

From Cyprus, working beyond boundaries.

I am a Cyprus-based space-tech entrepreneur and an Aerospace & Astrophysics student at the University of Chicago. My work spans autonomous systems, Earth observation, astronomical operations, science communication and technology policy.

I care about turning ambitious ideas into practical initiatives: technology that solves problems on Earth, institutions that widen access to opportunity, and international experience that can create meaningful impact in Cyprus.

Selected work

Three lanes. One direction.

My projects connect technical execution with public engagement, moving between Cyprus, Europe and the United States.
