Postdoc Researcher - Computer Vision - Deep Learning
currently hold a PhD at UMONS in the field of machine learning and deep learning applied basically to people detection, tracking and human action recognition. My work includes, among other, people detection, tracking and re-identification, human action recognition, face recognition, plant diseases detection, tumours detection, etc.
I also co-organize several activities around AI l ike meetups, where I propose and give some talks, workshops, the UMONS Hand On AI certificate for students and industries, where I gave lessons and supervised participants, in addition to the supervision of some students for their final year projects, etc.
