Georgia Christofidi

Short Bio

I am a third year Ph.D. student at IMDEA Software Institute, in Madrid, Spain, under the supervision of Assistant Professor Thaleia Dimitra Doudali.

My research lies at the intersection of Machine Learning and Systems (ML for Systems). My dissertation focuses on advancing the state-of-the-art in cloud resource management and contributing to more efficient and sustainable cloud computing infrastructures.

In 2022, I earned my Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in Greece.

In 2024, I interned at Telefonica Research in Barcelona, for 6 months.
