Niki Efthymiou

Niki Efthymiou is a PostDoctoral Researcher at the National Technical University of Athens, affiliated with the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences. She works within the Computer Vision and Speech Processing (CVSP) Group, focusing on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of computer vision, human-robot interaction, and affective computing.

• Diploma in Applied Mathematics, NTUA (2010)
• MSc in Computational Mechanics, NTUA (2013)

Her research interests center on multimodal perception systems for child-robot interaction, emphasizing audio-visual fusion, body posture analysis, and facial expression recognition. She explores joint affect recognition and sensor integration for robotics applications.

Recent publications highlight her work on computational models for scene perception, action recognition, and object assembly guidance in human-robot contexts. Key areas include multimodal fusion techniques and their implementation in interactive robotics systems.
