Stylianos Karagiannis is a Senior Researcher and PhD in Cybersecurity with a decade of hands-on experience building full-stack web systems and designing cyber ranges for EU Horizon projects. He combines academic rigor with practical engineering—leading virtualization-based emulations, Capture the Flag (CTF) challenge development, and adversary emulation to improve cybersecurity training and healthcare infrastructure protections. His background spans offensive and defensive security, gamification and game-based learning, and applied research in automotive and privacy-aware system design. Based in the Ionian Islands, he pairs deep technical skills (from server optimization and C/C++ to virtualization and Asterisk telephony) with a knack for turning complex use cases into auditable security controls. An enthusiast of ARGs and CTFs, he brings creativity to threat emulation and learner engagement beyond conventional research.
