Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikolaos Kyriazis is a computer vision researcher and Co-Founder with a decade of experience applying physics simulation, graphics and high-performance computing to understand human-robot-object interactions. He holds a PhD in Computer Vision from the University of Crete and has moved between academia and industry roles—postdoc positions at FORTH and ICS-FORTH, and a stint as a Computer Vision Engineer at Meta—combining rigorous research with production-grade engineering. His technical strengths include GPU-parallel programming (CUDA/OpenCL), C/C++, MATLAB, and building markerless hand-tracking and 3D multi-object tracking systems that fed European research projects and industrial partners. Now leading SceneOpsis, he brings both entrepreneurial drive and deep domain expertise in perception, simulation, and software performance. Less obvious: he pairs a strong publication and project delivery record with hands-on experience acquiring and representing real-world data for visual effects and robotics applications. Based in Heraklion, Greece, he blends academic rigor with pragmatic system-building to turn complex sensing problems into deployable solutions.
