Argyro PhD's Email Addresses & Phone Numbers

Astrophysics PhD in finance. I am very fond of game theory and behavioral econ and I think they have not been optimally used yet beyond academia. I guess I can claim the scientist part of data science. As for the (big) data part, oh my! Take a look at big science - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Science - I should know...

Astrophysics PhD in finance. I am very fond of game theory and behavioral econ and I think they have not been optimally used yet beyond academia.
