My name is Theo (Θεόδωρος) and I’m a doctoral student in the AST lab at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Zhendong Su. My research focuses on search-based optimization, automated testing for missed compiler optimizations, and dynamic binary analysis. I previously worked in SPCL at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Tobias Grosser; my work focused on compiler autotuning and low-bitwidth integer vectorization. I obtained my MSc in Computer Science at ETH Zurich and my BSc in Computer Science at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
