Spyros Gidaris
Senior Research Scientist at valeo.ai
I am a Senior Research Scientist at valeo.ai in Paris, France. My main research focuses on efficient perception (spanning low-shot learning, self-supervised representation learning, and vision foundation models) and scalable generative modeling for vision and language data.
I completed my Ph.D. in 2018 at École des Ponts ParisTech, where I was a member of the Imagine group, under the supervision of Nikos Komodakis. The thesis was recognized with two best thesis awards from the Fondation des Ponts and Université Paris-Est. I completed my undergraduate degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
