I am a Ph.D. student deeply passionate about computer vision. My research focuses on the efficient training of deep learning models, leveraging a priori knowledge about the task at hand. Specifically, I am engrossed in topics like invariance, equivariance and robustness against expected transformations of the input data. A significant thrust of our work is to construct explainable networks that can ensure certain desired properties. Beyond the academic realm, I’m intrigued by the application of computer vision in nuclear energetics. This exploration is undertaken in collaboration with CVŘ.

Before my Ph.D. and even during my studies as a part-time endeavor, I worked at several companies. For a detailed account of my professional experience, please see my CV. On a personal note, I am an enthusiast of bouldering, ski-touring, and hiking. My hobbies even led me on two pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela. Driven by my interest in deep learning, I initiated a reading group within our department, dedicated to the latest developments in deep learning and co-founder of the AI: Words as Tool initiative, which focuses on explaining the benefits and concepts of AI to the general public.
