    Assistant Professor at Computer Vision Group

    Since February 2017, I'm Assistant Professor in the Computer Vision group (headed by Prof. Theo Gevers) of the Informatics Institute of the Faculty of Science (FNWI). My research interests are 3DDL: combining 3D computer vision with deep learning.

    Before turning into assistant professor, I've been:

    • Visisting Researcher at UC Berkeley (Prof. T. Darrell) for 3 months in 2016.
    • PostDoc researcher at the ISIS group, since 2012
    • PhD researcher/student at LEAR/TOTH group of INRIA Grenoble and the Compyter Vision group of XRCE (2009-2012)
    • MSc AI student at the University of Amsterdam (2002-2007)
