Short Bio
Athanasios (Nasos) Drosopoulos was born in Lamia, Greece in 1976. He received the degree in Computer Science from the University of Ioannina, Greece in 1998. In 1999 he was accepted for a Ph.D. in the field of computer vision from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). His thesis entitled '3D Features and Motion Estimation (Virtual Studios)' was completed in 2005.
Since 2005, he is a senior researcher at the Image, Video and Multimedia Systems Laboratory (IVML) of NTUA, coordinating R&D activities in the areas of neural networks & machine learning, emotion analysis & human-computer interaction, knowledge technologies and digital archives. He has participated in more than 30 Greek and EC projects and is currently involved in initiatives for the development and use of Europeana, and projects concerning metadata modeling and aggregation, digital cultural heritage access and interoperability and, semantic web technologies.
