Gerasimos (Makis) Lampouras

Most people call me Makis.

Gerasimos (Makis) Lampouras is a principal research scientist, coordinating the research efforts of the Speech and Language group of Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab in London.

Areas of interest fall somewhere between Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. Lately, this journey has led to teaching LLMs to generate / understand programming languages, while previous worked focused more on natural language generation, dialogue systems, and machine learning applications for NLP.

Previously, he was a research associate at the University of Cambridge, University of Sheffield and University College London. He graduated and received his MSc and PhD from the Athens University of Economics and Business.
