Research

My research focuses on the digitization and representation of architectural cultural heritage. I primarily work with laser scanning, photogrammetry, and I am exploring methods of neural rendering.
Additionally, my academic interests extend to graphic design and visual communication.

Other interests and hobbies

I am passionate about electronic music, as a dj and producer/remixer... hopelessly nerding out over synthesizers and vinyl records. If you wish you can follow me on soundcloud.

I love scuba diving and often enjoy the stunning waters of Palinuro. I’m also very interested in undertaking a research project on underwater surveying.

I'm enthusiastic about all things that fly (I'm also a drone pilot) and thanks to my amazing brother and his fantastic wife, I recently had the incredible opportunity to fly (and land :P ) a four-seat single-engine piper aircraft!
