Stefanos is a Lecturer in Pattern Recognition/Statistical Machine Learning for Computer Vision here in the Department of Computing. He has been awarded one of the prestigious Junior Research Fellowships (JRF) from Imperial College London in 2011 to start his own independent research group. He is/has participated in more than 10 EU, British and Greek research projects. Dr. Zafeiriou currently serves as an Associate Editor in IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics and  Image and Vision Computing journal. He has been guest editor in more than four special issues and co-organized more than five workshops/ special sessions in top venues such as CVPR/FG/ICCV/ECCV.  He has co-authored more than 31 journal papers mainly on novel statistical machine learning methodologies applied to computer vision problems such as 2D/3D face and facial expression recognition, deformable object tracking, human behaviour analysis etc published in the most prestigious journals in his field of research (such as IEEE T-PAMI, IJCV, IEEE T-IP, IEEE T-NNLS, IEEE T-VCG, IEEE T-IFS etc). His students are frequent recipients of very prestigious and highly competitive fellowships such as Google Fellowship, Intel Fellowship and the Qualcomm fellowship. He has more than 1000 citations to his work. Web-page: //www.imperial.ac.uk/people/s.zafeiriou
