Eleni Fotopoulou

Senior Software engineer · Research Assistant at NETMODE NTUA Laboratory efotopoulou@netmode.ntua.gr

Senior Software engineer, participating in R&D projects which are focused on cloud computing, IoT, 5G orchestration technologies, big data analytics upon scalable storage repositories; distributed computing techniques, chained analytics workflows, interactive recommender systems, semantic interoperability, machine learning and reinforcement learning and are mostly developed in python, J2EE, and Web technologies. My research interests are in the field of cloud-applications intelligent orchestration, data mining techniques, semantic technologies, machine learning, reinforcement learning and recently on psychometry/sociometry and emotional intelligence fields.

Education

National Technical University of Athens

School of Electrical and Computer Engineering
PHD Candidate at NETMODE NTUA Laboratory
My field of research concerns the modeling, analysis and extraction of socio-emotional information through the use of machine learning techniques. More in detail is focused on the analysis and exploitation of social networking properties using knowledge graphs and machine learning in recommendation systems
