Nikolas holds a BSc in Physics from the University of Kent (UK), an MSc by research in Physics from the same university and is a recent graduate (2011) of the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) , Tisch School of the Arts, NYU.

Surprisingly, although his MSc was in Physics it had nothing to do with Physics but was within the area of Image Processing & Computer Vision. His thesis was entitled “Human Face Detection in Color Images Using Gaussian Scale-Space Theory and Hidden Markov Models” and was by far the most difficult challenge he has tackled so far. You can download his MSc thesis from here. While at ITP he explored the intersection of art & technology by creating physical devices, with custom electronics and sensors and by creating interactive installations using code & cameras. His interests include code-based design, interactive installations, tangible interfaces, digital fabrication and physical computing. With his work Nikolas hopes to push the boundaries between the digital and physical world. His CV can be downloaded from here.
