News: I will be joining the Civil and Environmental Engineering faculty at Stanford as an Assistant Professor from September 2023. I will continue my research on Visual Machine Perception for the Built Environment, adding an exciting new direction on where I think the built environment and AEC practice should head. As a teaser of many works to come on this vision, I wrote a short story to illustrate this future and the impact on designers. You can read more about it here:

A Day in the Life of an Architect in the Gradient World


I am looking for PhD students from CEE and CS to join me on this adventure! If you are interested, please consider applying for a PhD at Stanford University. [ For CEE applicants | For CS applicants ]

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at ETH Zurich, at the departments of Civil, Env. and Geomatic Engineering and of Computer Science. I am working with Prof. Catherine de Wolf, Circular Engineering for Architecture, and with Prof. Marc Pollefeys, Computer Vision and Geometry Lab. I am also affiliated with the Design++ at ETHZ.

I am interested in interdisciplinary research between Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Machine Perception. My area of focus is on developing quantitative and data-driven methods that learn from real-world visual data to generate, predict, and simulate new or renewed built environments that place the human in the center. My goal is to create sustainable, inclusive, and adaptive built environments that can support our current and future physical and digital needs. As part of my research vision, I am particularly interested in creating spaces that blend from the 100% physical (real reality) to the 100% digital (virtual reality) and anything in between, with the use of Mixed Reality.

Education: I completed my PhD at Stanford University on August 2020, Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Department, Sustainable Design and Construction (SDC) Program, with a PhD minor at the Computer Science Department. I conducted research under the supervision of Martin Fischer (CEE, Center for Integrated Facility Engineering - CIFE) and Silvio Savarese (CS, Stanford Vision and Learning Lab - SVL). Prior to my PhD, I received an MSc in Computer Science (Ionian University-2013), an MEng in Architecture and Digital Design (University of Tokyo-2011), and a Diploma in Architectural Engineering (National Technical University of Athens-2009). I have also worked as an architect and consultant for both the private and public sector.
