Welcome to my homepage. I was born in Athens, and grew up in Patras (2006 cultural capital of Europe), which is located on the west coast of Greece.
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Maastricht University.
My research focuses mostly on Game Theory, Decision Theory and Microeconomic Theory. In particular, I have been recently studying mechanisms for eliciting subjective beliefs, as well as problems pertaining to information acquisition and information design. I am also interested in Behavioral Economics, Experimental Economics, Neuroeconomics, Epistemic Logic, Information Theory and Political Economy.
My Erdös Number is at most 4 (Paul Erdös ⇔ László Kóczy ⇔ Jean Jacques Herings ⇔ Christian Seel ⇔ myself). I do not have an Erdös-Bacon Number, yet.
A recent interview that I gave for The Reasoner.
In the Fall 2019, I will be teaching the graduate course Theory of Individual and Strategic Decisions.
