About

I am a PhD candidate at the Computer and Robot Vision Laboratory (VisLab), part of the Institute for Systems and Robotics in Lisbon. My thesis focuses on the application of generative models for grasping and manipulation with dexterous hands. Before that, I completed an integrated MSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Patras, where I did my thesis in the Visualization & Virtual Reality Group. My interests mostly lie at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and computer vision. You can find some of my projects below.
