  Scholarship: Computer/Software Engineer at Institute for Language and Speech Processing, Athens. I was market researching and set up a laboratory for multi-modal human-computer interaction based on expressive speech synthesis (robots, avatars, motion capture systems, microphone arrays, e.t.c.). My main duties involved searching for available hardware and selecting the most appropriate given specific user/scientific cases. I was, also, involved in integratingInnoetics'​ software (http://www.innoetics.com/index.php?lang=en) into modules of the humanoid robot NAO and creating the infrastructure for easy code re-use.

  Google Summer of Code 2015 ------------------------------------------- As a GSoC 2015 intern, I focused on adding more features to the core library of the Ignition Robotics Transport Library (http://ignitionrobotics.org/libraries/transport). The main tasks involved code restructuring using C++11 features and enabling easy code re-use and enhancing modularity. I was also involved in creating some command line tools for the library.
