About me
My full name is Stelios (Stylianos) Papagrigoriou, I was born and raised in Heraklion, Crete. In 2006, I moved to Chania in order to study at the Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department of Technical University of Crete while I estimate to have my 5-year engineering diploma by Spring 2012.
I am a young, energetic, soon-to-be graduate, seeking a career that suits my professional skills and interests. I enjoy a lot being amidst problems, brainstorming for a solution and I enjoy even more when I provide it.
At the moment, I'm working on finishing my diploma thesis on Data Streams in Bioinformatics. From October onwards I will be staying in London, following the MSc Advance Computing programm in Imperial College.
Research Interests
Although my Degree gives me familiarity with quite a wide range of Computing (Electronics - Computer Architecture, Computer Science and Telecommunications), I intend to focus on Computer Science and Software.
I am rather interested in:
- Data Mining
- Databases
- Software Development
- Embedded Systems
- Computer Networking
- High Performance and Parallel Computing

Personal Interests
I am trying to be as active as possible and try out new things all the time. My passe-temps include Travelling, Swimming, Parkour, Reading - (Science) Fiction mostly -, Table and Computer Games.
I love good food and I love meeting new Cultures/Trends. Because of that I am trying to travel as much as possible. Jogging/Hiking in the nature is also one of my hobbies, a hobby that seems to help me deal with difficult or stressful situations.
All in all, I am always up for a new challenge!
