I am currently an engineering researcher with the Communications and Signal Processing Research Group of the Electrical & Electronic Engineering Department of Imperial College London. I am working with Prof. Maria Petrou.

During the years 2005-2008 I did a PhD at Imperial College London, entitled "Hardware Architectures for Real-Time Video Enhancement and their Application to an Adaptive Image Sensor". My PhD work was done under the supervision of Prof. Peter Cheung, Dr. Christos Bouganis, and Dr. Kostas Masselos, and in collaboration with Dr. George A. Constantinides and Dr. Yiannis Andreopoulos.

Upon completion of my PhD, I became a postdoctoral research associate with the Circuits & Systems Research Group of the Electrical & Electronic Engineering Department of Imperial College London, and worked on FPGA-based vision methods for real-time UAV navigation.

In October 2009, I joined the Products Development Department of Intracom Defense Electronics, Athens, Greece, as an R&D engineer on hardware-based wireless multimedia communications.

Since April 2011, I am with the Communications and Signal Processing Research Group of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of Imperial College London, working on robotic vision and 3D surface reconstruction.

I hold an Electrical & Computer Engineering diploma from the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department of the University of Patras, Greece. My undergraduate advisor was Dr. Stefanos Kaxiras.

A selection of my publications can be found at the DBLP server. For a complete list of my publications to date, please see below.
