Currently she is a Ph.D. student (funded by the AHRC council) and a design tutor at the University of Edinburgh, where she also obtained an M.Sc. in Advanced Architectural Design. She has participated in architectural competitions such as the UIA-Velux international competition ‘Light of Tomorrow’ (3rd prize), and the ARCO design competition (distinction). She has also taken part in exhibitions such as the Biennale in Barcelona (March 2006 where she exhibited an architectural landscape project), and the 5th PanHellenic Exhibition of Architecture in Patras, Greece, in October 2006. Her doctoral thesis explores issues such as the sensuous, the electronic or hybrid, and the political aspects of space, as to what forms the ‘immaterial’ within contemporary architectural discourse.
