About me

I’m a Ph.D. student at the Systems Research Group, Technical University of Munich (TUM), supervised by Prof. Pramod Bhatotia. My research interests lie in quantum software systems, where I design compilers, OS mechanisms, and hardware-software co-designs to scale quantum computing toward fault-tolerant quantum computation. I leverage IRs, ISAs, and cross-stack optimizations to improve execution fidelity, programmability, and resource efficiency across the quantum software stack.

Previously, I worked in the distributed systems area, specifically in distributed shared logs, hardware-assisted replication protocols, and the implementation of fast reads in asynchronous replication protocols.

Before joining TUM, I graduated from the Computer Science Department, University of Crete, Greece, where I worked on highly parallel data structures and cloud scheduling.

Please call me Manos. Emmanouil is the formal birth name that is never used in Greece.

Hobbies & Interests

I really love cinema (I have watched more than 800 films), so follow me on Letterboxd if you have an account ;) Letterboxd profile. I also like photography, focusing on landscapes, nature, and architecture. Despite being a computer scientist, I am pretty active: I enjoy hiking (I’m proud of my recent achievement of hiking the Andes at 5000 meters altitude), swimming, lifting weights in the gym, and running.
