Potamias, a postdoctoral researcher at Imperial College London, focuses his research on human perception and modeling. His award-winning research addresses the challenges of hand modeling, which is crucial for human interaction and behavior, especially for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

He developed the “Handy” model with over 1,200 participants, which captures both the shape and appearance of hands. He also introduced WiLoR, a pipeline for real-time recognition and reconstruction of multiple hands, and HaWoR, a model for hand motion reconstruction in world coordinates. These technologies could drive industrial applications in AR/VR, virtual fitting, and embodied AI.
