About Me

Hello! My name is Georgios but I go by George. I am a third-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, working under Prof. Heng Huang. My main interests are AI transparency, watermarking, and synthetic media.
I have an MEng in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, where I specialized in signal processing under Prof. Petros Maragos.
