Working across training programme design, project leadership, and applied research in security intelligence, open-source intelligence, and AI — combining an operational background with academic research on modern threat-management frameworks.
About
I design training programmes and lead applied initiatives in open-source intelligence, security analysis, and the responsible use of artificial intelligence, working with institutional and professional stakeholders across Europe. My approach is grounded in an operational background in the security and intelligence field, translated into curricula, applied research, and programme leadership that bridge frontline practice with academic rigor.
As a PhD candidate in Business Administration at the University of West Attica, my research explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence, OSINT, and emerging technologies into intelligence-gathering and threat-management frameworks, with a particular focus on AI-assisted security analysis, risk forecasting, and governance frameworks such as Explainable AI (XAI) that keep human judgment central to automated analysis.
Alongside training and research, I lead applied technology initiatives at the intersection of AI and security — from founding and directing an AI-enabled open-source intelligence platform, to managing cross-border programme design, evaluation, and research-coordination work for European institutions and initiatives.
