I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Mathematical Sciences of Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg.
Before that, I was a PhD student in mathematics at the University of Münster, under the supervision of David Kerr.
My research interests include topological dynamics and their interaction with operator algebras, as well as measurable dynamics, entropy, and orbit equivalence.
If you meet me, please call me Spyros (or Don)!
