About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Computing Science, Umeå University, Sweden, funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP). My experience includes computer vision, time series data analysis, and IoT programming. Currently, my research focuses on deep learning methodologies for analyzing complex visual environments, active and federated learning, and Explainable AI (XAI). During my doctoral studies, I coordinated the Intelligent Media Laboratory (IMLab), where I managed multiple research projects and led a team of eight researchers.
