Emmanouil Kritharakis

I am a Data Scientist at Satalia, working remotely from Athens, Greece. My research interests are in graph machine learning, systems and near storage computing. Previously, I obtained my master of science from Boston University in the United States and my master of engineering and bachelor's degrees from the Technical University of Crete in Greece.

I am mainly interested in combining machine learning with systems. Much of my research is about inferring graph machine learning algorithms and how can we efficiently work with large enough graphs that do not fit in memory with the help of computational storage devices such as smartSSDs.
