My work is focused on Computer Vision and Machine Learning
I am currently a postdoctoral Research Associate at Bristol University's Machine Learning and Computer Vision Group (MaVi) working with prof. Dima Damen on video understanding. I obtained my PhD at Utrecht University's Department of Information and Computing Science. The topic of my thesis was on Machine Learning and Computer Vision for human action and interaction recognition in everyday social settings, supervised by dr. Ronald Poppe and prof. Remco C. Veltkamp. During my time in Utrecht I have also worked on improving the efficiency and explainabilty of spatio-temporal deep learning models, for scene understanding and classification of videos. I have completed my Masters and Bachelor degrees in (Advanced) Computer Science at the University of Essex. I have also worked shortly at the Institute for Analytics and Data Science (IADS) for a summer project on Neural Networks for structured population data with dr. Spyros Samothrakis.
