About

My interests are Computer Vision and Machine Learning. I investigated motion in videos — its modeling and importance — in deep video understanding models during my PhD with my supervisors Thomas Pock, and Richard Wildes. Additionally, I was also lucky enough to have wonderful collaborators and projects that allowed me to work on other topics such as denoising, generative modeling, and implicit neural representations.

Before that, I worked at CERN for the CMS experiment on performance critical monitoring and analysis software.

Miscellaneous

Teaching

A visual introduction to Monte Carlo sampling A visual and theoretical introduction to Monte Carlo sampling methods, emphasizing their utility in approximating expectations and integrations where direct computation is challenging. We take a closer look at Importance, Rejection, and Inversion Sampling.

Physicalization

A DIY Galton Board Random Walks, Central Limits, and a sneaky Gaussian.
We’ll explore how dropping steel ball bearings into a board filled with pegs can visually simulate the binomial distribution and its gradual transformation into a normal distribution. Instructions on how to build your own are included!

Physicalization

The Analogue GIF A demo piece on the perception of temporal consistency.
The analogue GIF explores human perception of motion from static noise patterns, revealing that effective motion detection persists even with imperfect image alignment. It also shows how robust our visual processing abilities are.

Physicalization

Dense packing with spheres A model for grain formation in steel, and other packing problems.
Built with acrylic glass and steel ball bearings.
