I am an Assistant Professor in Photogrammetry – National Technical University of Athens and an affiliated Researcher of the Computational Vision and Robotics Lab, Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas.
I hold a Ph.D in Photogrammetry (IGP Group) from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ) and a Diploma in Rural and Surveying Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
In the past I have been a research associate at the Geomatics Department of the University of Melbourne and the Cooperative Research Center for Spatial Information (CRC-SI) in Melbourne, Australia and a postdoctoral fellow at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. I collaborated with industries in the 3D spatial data capture and processing, including Leica Geosystems (USA, Switzerland), North West Group (Canada), Pasco Corp. (Japan). I also served as a visiting assistant professor at the Computer Science Department of the University of Crete, Greece (2012-2014) and a visiting lecturer and postdoctoral fellow at the Aristotle University of Thesaloniki (2006-2007). In recent years, I have held the position of Research Executive at ORamaVR S.A.
My research lies is in the converging areas of Computer Vision and Photogrammetry and have been actively involved in more than 25 international, EU- and national- funded research projects, in the areas of Computer Vision and Photogrammetry for robotic, smart environment, VR/AR, aerial, health, archaeological, architectural applications and her research focus is with respect to 2D/3D object extraction and tracking, 3D pose estimation, 3D reconstruction and image matching.
