Nikos Giakoumoglou

I am a PhD student at Imperial College London in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), within the Communications and Signal Processing (CSP) group, supervised by Professor Tania Stathaki. Before that, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Information Technologies Institute] (ITI) of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH), under the supervision of Dr. Eleftheria-Maria (Ria) Pechlivani and Dr. Dimitrios Tzovaras. I received my Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2021.

My research focuses on (1) self-supervised learning for vision and vision-language models, with a recent emphasis on joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs); (2) knowledge distillation; and (3) deep learning for medical imaging.
