Nektarios Leontiadis

About me

I am a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Engineering and Public Policy. I am interested in online crime modeling and prevention both from an engineering and public policy perspective. In this effort I am fortunate to be advised by Nicolas Christin and funded by CyLab.

I completed my undergraduate studies (2005) at the Department of Computer Science, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece. I also received a Masters degree in Information Systems (2006) from the same Department.

You can get a copy of my curriculum vitae here.
