My name is Paris Kalathas and I'm an Assistant Professor at Cal Poly. I'm Greek-Cypriot from the small
island of Cyprus. My native language is Greek, but in Cyprus we changed it a bit into what we call
Cyprus dialect.
I got my Bachelor's in Music Technology and Acoustics Engineering in Crete, and my adventure in the
US started in 2014 when I came to get a Masters in CS, which let me to continue for a Ph.D.
My research is in CS Education and I added Agentic Design to that since I joined Cal Poly. If you are
interested in learning more about CS Education or Agentic Design and how you can get involved, contact
me and let's have a discussion about it!
My hobbies include being outdoors, hiking, running, cycling, skiing, fishing, DIYing, and fixing things in
general. I'm adding, removing and modifying this list as time goes by and as I change places that I live :)
Also, I like to make sourdough bread, and lately, I started playing golf and pickleball.
