My Coursera adventures

I discovered the world of MOOC (Massive Online Open Courses) when I enrolled on my first one in November of 2012. It was a course on Coursera platform called Introduction to Astronomy offered by Duke University and taught by Ronen Plesser. I got immediatelly hooked and was amazed about the variety of topics one could learn about. The journey through knowledge was both stimulating as well as addictive and lasted until the summer of 2015. I completed a range of courses during that time.

Being a video game completionist → a better academic?

While I cannot claim which direction the causality goes, completing a video game 100% and publishing an academic paper share striking parallels. Both require resilience (gamers: challenging levels, researchers: overcoming rejections), patience (gamers: unlocking achievements, researchers: rewriting and revising), attention to detail (gamers: complex mechanics, researchers: precise writing), and the ability to learn from setbacks (gamers: adapting strategies after failure, researchers: incorporate feedback).

The road to PhD

Life started in Kozani, Greece in 1988 where I stayed until I finished high school. As a teenager I had one big passion, mathematics. During high school, I was always eager to go beyond the topics covered in maths textbook. I participated in mathematical competitions and succeeded at province level (2004, 2005) as well as national level (2003).
