About Me

Christos Athanasiadis is a lecturer and researcher at the LIACS institute in Leiden University. My expertise is on Machine leanring, foundation models and explainable AI (xAI).

Between August 2020-2024 I have worked as a junior lecturer in the Artificial intelligence master program at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). My contribution is in multiple courses: Machine learning, Deep learning, Fairness Accountability Confidentiality and Transparency in AI and Explainability and Interpretability in AI. Part of my role is to prepare materials, lectures and tutorials for all these courses.

I have acquired my Ph.D. in data science and knowledge engineering (DKE) at Maastricht University on cross-modal emotion recognition based on domain adaptation. My work utilized methods to bridge expressivity features from the audio and visual modalities and ways to elicit both to improve emotion recognition performance.

My research interests include explainable AI, affective computing, large language models and AI alignment.
