About me

I am researching how AI can generate realistic virtual humans, as a PhD student at Imperial College London and a Computer Vision Scientist at Facesoft!

I have studied Computer Science and Innovation Management at Imperial College London, University College London and the Athens University of Economics and Business.

At the moment I am collecting high-quality 3D human faces with a Light Stage and exploring how Machine Learning can be used to reconstruct them from single images.

In the past, I spent some very interesting time at Oracle and co-founded one of Greece’s biggest youth entrepreneurship networks.
