My friends call me Nikos, and I work as a research scientist at Meta Reality Labs Research in Sausalito, CA. My research lies in the union of Computer Vision, Deep Learning and Graphics in the context of generating photorealistic virtual humans. I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Houston where I worked on 3D human pose estimation, visual attributes and text-to-image retrieval. I'm trying to be an advocate for promoting female involvement in Computer Science and have volunteered twice at the Grace Hopper Celebration for women in computing and as an instructor at Girls Who Code. I currently serve as a mentor at Deep Learning Indaba. If you would like to know more about opportunities at our group I am one email away. We would love to have applications from a diverse group of people and research areas.
