My friends call me Nikos, and I work as a research scientist at Meta Reality Labs where I'm focusing on 3D generative models with applications to virtual humans. In the past I've worked on 3D reconstruction, dense correspondences and neural rendering. 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 currently serve as a mentor at Deep Learning Indaba.
