About Me
My name is Evgenios (pronounced ev-YEN-ee-os) and I am a PhD candidate at the Computer science Department of Brown University. I am working in the area of Applied Cryptography and Security.
Specifically my latest works focus on cryptanalysis of leakage profiles of proximity queries, e.g. k-Nearest Neighbors, range queries. Understanding the limitations of efficient cryptographic techniques, such as Encrypted Databases, is the key to design the next-generation of agile cryptographic systems.
Other recent projects of mine include adversarial inputs for secure approximation protocols and machine learning algorithms. In the past I have worked on various problems with strong algorithmic component such as privacy-preserving data structures, statistical learning techniques on graphs, graph theory and graph drawing. I am a member of the (Cryptography Anonymity Privacy and Security) CAPS research group @ Brown.
I come from the beautiful island of Rhodes, located in the southern periphery of Aegean Islands in Greece.

Music
Studied classical guitar in my home town, Rhodes, at the Hellenic Conservatory. I continued my musical studies in Crete at the Sychronon Conservatoire of Crete. In 2010 I earned my professional classical guitar degree with ‘excellent unanimously’ distinction by a committee of guitar virtuosi, such as Evangelos Assimakopoulos & Liza Zoe, and conductor Theodore Antoniou (former Professor of Composition at Stanford University).
