I am an Assistant Professor of Computational Intelligence in the Dept. of Chemical Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh), Greece. The university is named after the philosopher Aristotle, who was born in the nearby city of Stageira.
My research centers on intelligent systems at the crossroads of artificial intelligence, robotics, and computer vision. I develop methods that empower autonomous and robotic systems to perceive, interpret, and reason about the real world—capturing both their surroundings and the behaviors of the people within them. I am especially interested in active perception and reinforcement learning as key components for building adaptive and resilient robotic behaviors. Additionally, I work on the development of efficient deep learning models tailored for deployment on embedded and edge computing platforms. My research also focuses on photonic neural networks and optics-informed deep learning architectures, which offer new possibilities for ultra-fast and energy-efficient AI in various challenging settings.
