I completed my PhD at Ghent University in the field of machine learning for computer vision, where I did research in the area of unsupervised deep learning for image dimensionality reduction. During my doctoral studies, I was involved in several projects in biomedical imaging (electron microscopy image segmentation, transfer learning on single-cell image data, explainable skin lesion detection) and virtual art restoration (virtual inpainting and paint loss detection on Ghent Altarpiece). I supervised 6 master thesis students and I gave some of the lectures for the Artificial Intelligence course.

During my master’s studies, I did a research internship at Image and Visual Representation Lab at EPFL, Switzerland. I also had summer jobs working as a software developper at companies in Serbia.
