PhD student

Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Tübingen, Germany

Research focus: Collective action in machine learning and development of generative model frameworks. Studied how a change of optimization and learning algorithm affects the success of collective action. Investigated the connection between density estimation to a simpler training algorithm for WGANs. Supervised by Samira Samadi (MPI-IS) and Amartya Sanyal (University of Copenhagen). Previous work in the Perceiving Systems department, developing a 3D articulated model of laboratory rats with Michael J. Black (MPI-IS), Silvia Zuffi (IMATI-CNR) and Sergi Pujades (INRIA) using computer vision tools.
