Kostas Karpouzis

I'm currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication, Media and Culture, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences.
In my research, I'm looking for ways to make computer systems more aware of and responsive to the way people interact with each other using natural, affective interaction and intelligent, user-adaptive algorithms. I'm also investigating how gamification and digital games can be used in classroom and informal settings to assist conventional teaching and help teach social issues and STEAM subjects to children and adults.
I'm a 3x TEDx speaker, including TEDxAthens in 2019; in 2016, I authored a lesson on the TED-ed platform titled “Can machines read your emotions?”; the lesson surpassed 300.000 views in its first week.
