About

Manos Athanassoulis is a leading researcher in data management and storage systems, whose work bridges the gap between automated data exploration and efficient hardware utilization. His key research areas include data exploration, real-time storage systems, and the optimization of modern hardware like NAND flash storage. One of his most notable contributions is the development of **Queriosity**, a system for automated data exploration that leverages the fundamental human drive for curiosity to help users make sense of large, complex datasets. This work, which has garnered 35 citations, addresses a critical challenge in data science: enabling intuitive, intelligent interaction with data without requiring deep technical expertise. In parallel, Athanassoulis has made significant strides in storage system design with **Telomere**, a framework for real-time NAND flash storage that tackles the overhead of garbage collection in solid-state drives. By rethinking how data is managed at the hardware level, his research improves performance and longevity for modern storage devices. His work is highly influential, shaping both academic research and practical applications in data-intensive computing.
