Born in Athens,
Greece, graduated in Physics at the
Athens
University, worked for IBM for
5 years and then left the company in order to complete my conversion into Computing at Brussels'
University while working part-time for the EUREKA project
COSINE in the
NIKHEF
laboratory in Amsterdam. I became CERN
staff in 1988 as responsible for the Email gateway. This lasted until 1994,
when I started working on the network
infrastucture of Physics
Data Processing services, doing network monitoring and topology
planning for a large number of, mostly Unix, hosts interconnected
with Ethernet, FDDI, Ultranet and/or HiPPI. During
1997-1999 I worked with Robert
Cailliau in the WebOffice,
installing, configuring and documenting web packages like Apache,
intelligent
searching
,
HyperNews etc. I worked in
the User Services
group during the period 1999-2003 ,
as a 2nd-level support analyst of web and Linux-related incidents.
I also was the CERN representative at
HEPiX until the beginning of 2003.
Since July 2003 I work in the Grid project. First with User Authentication and Authorisation software packages and now with User Support issues of the LHC experiments. In addition, I am responsible for defining, organising, approving training courses for the CERN IT dept. members and for the Academic Training series of seminars (the Applied Physics and Technology tracker). I have a daughter Kleopatra Leda and a son, Evgenios. I take classes of classical, contemporary and flamenco dance. My teachers are Etienne Frey, Ana La China and Lucy Nightingale and, in the past, Evelyne Castellino and Jean-Paul Balmer. He re-joined Maurice Bejart on 2011/05/19. |
