Background
Research focuses on generative AI, computer vision, and graphics methods to help people easily create and process representations of the 3D visual world.
Particularly interested in algorithms that generate 3D models of objects, scenes, animations, and intelligently process 3D scans, geometric data, shape collections, images, and video.
Currently Associate Professor at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Technical University of Crete, leading a research group on generative AI, computer vision, and graphics starting in 2025.
Previously tenured Associate Professor at the College of Information and Computer Sciences, University of Massachusetts Amherst (joined as Assistant Professor in 2012), currently on leave.
Research supported by the European Research Council (ERC Consolidator Grant) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
