Ioannis Gkioulekas works on computational imaging — the process of forming images from measurements using algorithms that rely on a significant amount of computing. While imaging involves optics, sensors, and illumination, computation includes physics-based modeling and rendering, inverse algorithms, and learning. Gkioulekas’ research interests include imaging around walls or through skin, lightweight depth sensing, material acquisition, and adaptive imaging. He is also broadly interested in computer vision and computer graphics.

Gkioulekas earned his Ph.D. from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. He also has a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering (five-year degree) from the National Technical University of Athens.
