Principal Advisor and Head of Engineering Management

2021 - 2023

Venture Agency UK

• Provided strategic guidance to a leading venture agency, while concurrently spearheading a team of engineering managers, focused on the provisioning of cutting-edge technology and the incubation of startup enterprises throughout Europe and North America.
• Simultaneously held the key advisory role for select research directives under the purview of the European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA), primarily responsible for the formulation of intricate statistical and mathematical models to underpin visionary concepts such as the Physical Internet, thereby advancing pioneering solutions and innovation within the organization.

Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Expert

2018 - 2021

Horizon 2020 EU

• Spearheaded the development of a groundbreaking vessel classification system, engineered to combat maritime abuse and illicit activities, primarily reliant on advanced Artificial Intelligence methodologies.
• Authored and published an academic paper, elucidating the deployment of a deep Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model for vessel classification based on kinematic features, attaining remarkable accuracy in the identification of nine distinct vessel classes, representative of common vessel types within the Ionian-Adriatic Sea.
• Commissioned to implement this model during the Adriatic-Ionian trial phase of the international EU ANDROMEDA H2020 project, significantly bolstering maritime security and regulatory enforcement.
