Efthymios is originally from Cyprus and studied Mathematics for his bachelor’s degree at Imperial College London. He then joined the MSc Statistics at Imperial, pursuing the Data Science stream. Efthymios’s masters project involved clustering for data of mixed type using distance-based clustering methods. His main interests in Statistics include machine learning, dimensionality reduction techniques for high-dimensional data and Monte Carlo simulation methods, amongst others. In his free time, Efthymios also enjoys listening to music, as well as watching and playing tennis. At StatML, he hopes to explore many other areas of Statistics that he has not yet concerned himself with in the past, as well as learn about the applications of statistics in several areas, such as in finance and healthcare.
