About

Hello I am Ilias Papastratis, an AI researcher with focus on deep learning and computer vision. I have a MEng in Electrical Engineering and a MSc in Artificial Intelligence. What do I do in my free time ? Probably, you will find me in the gym, hanging out with friends traveling or snowboarding in the winter.
