Athanasios Charisoudis

Hi, I’m Thanos

I’m a research engineer at Hochschule Luzern working on human-centric computer vision, including dynamic 3D representations, metric deep learning, and motion recovery, under the advise of Prof. Aljosa Smolic. I like turning research ideas into fast, practical tools that people can use.

Before this, I completed a MSc in Machine Learning at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, where I worked with Prof. Hedvig Kjellström. Earlier, I earned a Diploma in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where I worked with Prof. Pericles Mitkas. I’m based in Rotkreuz, Switzerland, while my hometown is Thessaloniki, Greece.

Outside of work, I used to make electronic music and do graphic design. These days I relax with freelance web development, my go-to antistressant. When I’m away from the keyboard, I’m usually on a bike in the mountains or forests.
