I am Dr. N. Papoulias, a Director of Research in CS leading by example towards an optimistic & inspiring technological future. My main area of expertise is end-to-end R&D focusing on AI/VR (Augmented Intelligent Reality) and Programming Languages. I am currently investigating Neuro-Symbolic Graphics and Programming through projects like tolmix (https://www.tolmix.com) that combine traditional ray-tracing with latent world models & gaussian splatting.
