I am an art curator at the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens, and currently, I am a PhD candidate, advised by Dr. Jahna Otterbacher, in the Social Information Systems Postgraduate Program of study at the Open University of Cyprus.
My PhD research concerns people’s perceptions, preferences, feelings and practices through their interaction with museums on social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
