About me

I am a research methodologist and data analyst specializing in evidence synthesis, an applied statistician, and an independent data visualization enthusiast based in Greece. Driven by a profound interest in meta-research within the medical domain, social sciences, and public health, I am deeply engaged in exploring avenues to enhance the integrity, rigor, and reproducibility of data analysis and visualization. Recently, I have also begun exploring the applications of artificial intelligence in healthcare and evidence synthesis tasks, aiming to optimize decision-making processes and research outcomes.

I have extensive experience teaching Statistics and leading R practical sessions at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Complementing my teaching role, I authored the free, online version of the textbook “Practical Statistics in Medicine with R”. Over the years, I’ve contributed to the R community by developing three open source R packages in collaborative and independently: “ccaR”, “amstar2Vis”, “musicolor”. Additionally, I maintain the first database that contains a list of a large number of healthcare overviews of reviews (“OMG-database”), along with a website, “RECREATING DATA VISUALIZATIONS IN R”, where I recreate published data visualizations sourced from scholarly articles, websites, or media sources.

 

Academic publications

I have contributed to more than 40 peer-reviewed research papers published in high-impact academic journals including: BMJ-British Medical Journal, Research Synthesis Methods, Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, Current Problems in Cardiology, Metabolism,Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, Journal of Dentistry, and PLoS Computational Biology.
