I am interested in problems involving computer vision and machine learning with real world applications. I am a third-year PhD at VIS lab, University of Amsterdam and ELLIS Unit Amsterdam, advised by Pascal Mettes and Rita Cucchiara. During my PhD, I will explore how to leverage prior knowledge and inductive biases in learning visual data, and if that intersts you, read more about my thesis topic on the ELLIS website.
I was one of the chairs of Women in Computer Vision Workshop, co-hosted with CVPR 2021 and CVPR 2022. In my free time, I enjoy playing ukulele and reading books!
