About

Short Bio

I was born and raised in Kavala, a town in northern Greece. In 1998 I moved to Thessaloniki for a BSc degree in Applied Informatics at the University of Macedonia. In 2002, I graduated (with honours) and started working towards a PhD degree in Exploratory Multivariate Analysis, which I received in 2007.

Since January 2011, I am a Lecturer in Mathematical Models of Data Analysis at the Department of Primary Education at Democritus University of Thrace in Alexandroupoli, Greece. My current teaching and research interests include quantitative data analysis (esp. Correspondence Analysis and Related Methods). Since 2003, I am a Board Member of the Greek Society of Data Analysis (GSDA), a member of the International Federation of Classification Societies. Since 2011, I am the representative of GSDA in the IFCS Council. More about my current work can be found here.

In the digital world I am especially concerned about digital rights and freedom of speech. I support, translate and use wherever I can, Free Software. More about my current thoughts and interests can be found at amarkos|gr|blog, yet another weblog. If it seems greek to you, it's because it's (mostly) written in greek.
