Konstantinos Tertikas

I am a Research Scientist at Canva, working on video and 3D generative models. My research interests include controllable video generation, diffusion models, and 3D object and scene generation, with a particular interest in world models.

I am also a PhD candidate in the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, under the joint supervision of Professor Ioannis Emiris and Dr Yannis Avrithis. My PhD is part of GRAPES, a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network.

During my PhD, I interned at Meta London, where I had the chance to work with Andrea Vedaldi, David Novotny and Filippos Kokkinos. I was also very lucky to do an internship at Stanford University, working with Despoina Paschalidou and Leonidas Guibas.

Previously, I was a Research Engineer at Five, working on 2D and monocular 3D object detection, as well as participating in research projects of the company. I hold a Master’s in Data Science from the University of Southampton and a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens.
