In September 2011 Christos joined the department of Informatics (IFI), of the University of Zurich (UZH) in Switzerland and became a Ph.D. candidate, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Burkhard Stiller.

On March 2011, Christos received his M.Sc. In Computer Science, with a specialization in Computer and Communication Networks, from the department of Informatics of the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB) in Greece. During his M.Sc. Christos worked with Dr. Stavros Toumpis on “Efficient Minimization of routing cost in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs)”.

Christos holds a Degree in Physics from the University of Crete (UOC) in Greece. During his undergraduate studies Christos focused on the field of Computational Physics.
