Welcome to my webpage! I’m Vangelis. I hold a PhD from the University of Bristol, where my thesis focused on Audio-Visual Egocentric Action Recognition, highlighting the essential role of audio in understanding egocentric actions captured through wearable sensors. I was also a key contributor to the EPIC-KITCHENS dataset, which has since become a cornerstone in the field of egocentric vision research.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics, and Cybernetics (CIIRC) at CTU Prague. My research is focused on multimodal learning and architectures, with a particular emphasis on spatio-temporal grounding using video and language data.
