  • - About Me: Ph.D. student at the PLAST lab, University of Athens, under the supervision of Yannis Smaragdakis. My research is mainly focused on designing and implementing static analysis techniques for the decompilation and vulnerability detection of smart contracts running on the Ethereum platform. Recent projects include Pythia, a static analysis tool for the detection of shape-related bugs in Python programs using the TensorFlow framework.
