I am PhD student in the QUVA lab at the University of Amsterdam supervised by Yuki Asano and Cees Snoek. I am also part of the ELLIS PhD program in cooperation with Qualcomm. My research primarily revolves around video data, which provides a lens to the intricate dynamics and mechanisms that define our world. I am interested in self-supervised methods and vision-language models as these yield more generalizable visual representations.
Before, I received my master’s degree in physics from Heidelberg University during which I was part of the research group from Björn Ommer. There, I was working on understanding human and object dynamics within generative frameworks primarily for video synthesis. I had the opportunity for a research visit at Kosta Derpanis’s lab in Toronto. Furthermore, I completed an internship in the AWS Rekognition team where I worked on self-supervised video representation learning with Davide Modolo and Josephe Tighe.
