 Education:
  1. From September 1995 to June 1998 I studied at the Secondary School of Apostolos Varnavas where I have received my High School Diploma (GPA 18.5/20).
  2. From July 1998 to September 2000 I performed my military duty at the Cyprus Army, where after a 16 - month training I became an Artillery Sub-Lieutenant.
  3. From September 2000 to June 2004 I studied at the department of Physics of the University of Cyprus where I have received my Bachelor’s degree (GPA 9.07/10.0). In the final year I completed my thesis entitled: “Perturbative computation using the Clover and Overlap improved actions”
  4. At present, I am a registered student in the Theoretical Physics D.Phil program of the University of Oxford and I have already completed my second year. My supervisor is Dr. Mike Teper.
