Computer Vision / Generative AI / Virtual Humans

I am an Applied Scientist specializing in Generative AI, Multimodal Learning, and techniques for bridging the gap between 2D and 3D to advance the development of human-centric applications.

I have obtained my PhD on Multimodal Generation of Realistic Human Bodies under the supervision of Prof. Yiorgos Chrysanthou. My research was conducted within ITN-CLIPE, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie project that was funded by the European Union and addressed core challenges in the creation and control of interactive virtual characters in 3D immersive environments.

I have been a visiting researcher at Amazon (Stores and AGI), École Polytechnique under the supervision of Vicky Kalogeiton and Marie-Paule Cani, and the Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems under the supervision of Michael Black and Victoria Fernandez-Abrevaya. Previously, I completed an MSc in Data Science and BSc in Mathematics from the University of Bath.
