I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the Pioneer Center for AI in Copenhagen, working on multimodal data summarization, under the supervision of Serge Belongie. I defended my PhD in Computer Vision on "Image Mining via Synthesis" (2022-2025) at Ecole Des Ponts, advised by Mathieu Aubry, where I collaborated closely with Alyosha Efros and Shiry Ginosar. I'm a suma cum laude graduate of MVA and ECE-NTUA.
My main area of interest is how deep generative models can be used to summarize multimodal data in a way that is both informative and interpretable.
Being a polymath my references are interdisciplinary, formed around three central beliefs:
a) deep neural networks are the first technology to operationalize human perception outside reductive mathematical models;
b) by operationalizing perceptual ontological questions, machine-learning turns modeling into ontology-in-action;
c) being statistical sciences of perception, the "arts" and the "humanities" are ideal generators of machine learning problems.

I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the Pioneer Center for AI in Copenhagen, working with Serge Belongie on modeling Digital Narratives. I defended my PhD in Computer Vision on "Image Mining via Synthesis" (2022-2025) funded by a scholarship by the University of Ecole Des Ponts of the eastern Paris Region. There I was part of the IMAGINE lab, advised by Mathieu Aubry, where our work on The Learnable Typewriter, got the best paper award at ICDAR 2024. During the summer of 2023 I visited BAIR under the most loving hospitality of Alyosha Efros, where I made friends along the way. I'm an Antikythera 2024 Cognitive Infrastructure studio alumni, where I learned (from my friend Cezar) that my website has a Prof. Dr. Style, yet its base template comes from Armin Linke. I had the priviledge to work closely for almost 3 years (2020-2022) with the visionary Ilan Manouach doing futurist (AI-comics) projects like the Neural Yorker. My first useful project was GraKeL: A Graph Kernel Library in Python under the supervision of Giannis Nikolentzos in the DaSciM team at Ecole Polytechnique. I hold a degree with a suma cum laude from both the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens and the MVA master in Paris of ENS-Paris-Saclay. I'm notorious for being a catophile and for saying /ˈeɪ/ (sounds like the letter "A") yet my good-old friend Chrysa started it.
