SHORT BIO
| Mihalis Nicolaou is an Associate Professor at the Computation-based Science and Technology Research Center, The Cyprus Institute (CyI), and an Honorary Research Fellow at Imperial College London. He completed his undergraduate studies at the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications at the University of Athens, Greece, and obtained his MSc and PhD from the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. He has also held faculty and visiting researcher positions at the University of London and Rutgers University in NJ. He is interested in developing AI algorithms that are robust, efficient, generalizable and interpretable – often by analyzing the latent representation space of deep neural networks and designing new architectures and frameworks that elicit favorable properties. His work spans a wide range of applications: from computer vision, multimodal learning, and natural language processing, to tackling interdisciplinary challenges in domains such as climate and earth observation, health, and science. He has received several awards for his research and has published more than 80 research articles in leading venues. His work has been supported by national, international, and industrial grants. |
