June 2017: I have joined Scape, the most exciting start-up in London (according to many people in CVPR 2017).


Since September 2016, I am a computer vision / machine learning scientist at WIREWAX.


Before that I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Computer Vision & Learning Lab at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of Imperial College London under the supervision of Assistant Professor Tae-Kyun Kim. I obtained my PhD in Computer Vision and Machine Learning in 2013 from the Department of Production Engineering and Management under the supervision of Associate Professor Antonios Gasteratos. I hold a MEng in Production Engineering and Management from the Democritus University of Thrace, Greece since 2006.

Research interests: Machine learning for vision with particular interest in object recognition, detection and pose estimation.
