I am a Professor at the University of Central Lancashire — Cyprus where I am the Head of the School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics, an interdisciplinary team of academics working in computer science, engineering and mathematics.
My research focuses on Mobile and Distributed Systems in the wider area of Software Engineering. I also study applications of Gamification as a means for behaviour change, and topics in Computer Science Education especially in the context of Code Cyprus.
I am the founder of Code Cyprus, a yearly event aiming to encourage high school students to learn programming.
