Summary
Panagiotis Papadakos is a postdoctoral researcher and visiting lecturer with over a decade of experience specializing in information retrieval, exploratory search and recommendation systems. He holds a PhD from the University of Crete on interactive exploration of multi-dimensional information spaces and combines deep research with practical skills in web development, databases, semantic web and distributed frameworks like Spark. Equally comfortable in strongly typed functional languages (Haskell, Purescript, Idris) and production Java/front-end stacks, he brings a rare mix of formal methods and hands-on engineering. His current work focuses on identifying bias in online systems to support more informed and responsible information societies. Outside academia he applies his long-standing Linux expertise to projects and pursues caving, astronomy, music and photography—reflecting a curiosity about human perception that informs his HCI and virtual environments background.
