Hello! I am a Research Scientist at Google Research. Previously, I obtained my PhD at the Computer Vision Lab of ETH Zürich, where I worked with Prof. Luc Van Gool and Dr. Jordi Pont-Tuset on scene understanding. I received my M.Eng degree from National Technical University of Athens, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I was a member of the CVSP lab working on human action recognition in videos with Prof. Petros Maragos. I have interned in Facebook AI Research (FAIR), where I worked on multi-task learning with Prof. Iasonas Kokkinos. This personal web-page will be updated with my research work.
News
New paper! Vid2CAD: CAD Model Alignment using Multi-View Constraints from Videos (accepted to T-PAMI).
Oct 2019: After 4 amazing years at ETH Zurich, I have finished my PhD, and I will be working as a Research Scientist at Google.
Aug 2019: We released the code for Attentive Single-Tasking of Multiple Tasks (ASTMT) .
Feb 2019: Our paper on multi-task learning was accepted in CVPR 2019. Work done at FAIR with Ilija Radosavovic and Iasonas Kokkinos.
May 2018: Journal extension of OSVOS accepted by T-PAMI.
Mar 2018: Deep EXTReme cut (DEXTR) was accepted in CVPR 2018! PyTorch code, pre-computed results, and models available!!
Jan 2018: Our work on 3D from CNN keypoints was accepted by Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L)/ICRA! ~100μm accuracy for stereo reconstruction in retinal surgery!!

I come from Skyros, a small island in the center of Aegean, in Greece. Skyros is popular for its ponies, its ceramics and its traditional carnival (video). Enjoy some beautiful photos in this page.
