I’m a postdoctoral researcher in machine learning and computer vision working with Philip Torr at the University of Oxford. I am driven by my curiosity about understanding how intelligence emerges in neural networks through learning. Thus my PhD research was focused on how to interpret neural networks, and I was lucky to have this experience at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). I was inspired throughout my entire PhD journey by my supervisor, Nassir Navab. I am very thankful to Bernt Schiele for reviewing my PhD research and inspiring me with his ideas. These days I am following the same vision in the context of vision-language foundation models.
