I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Aalborg University, Denmark, working at the intersection of computer vision and deep learning. I am particularly interested in self-supervised learning, anomaly detection, video understanding, and hierarchical scene representations.

I completed my Ph.D. at Aalborg University in 2023, with visiting research periods at the University of Central Florida (2022) and the Vector Institute, Canada (2025–26). I was honored to receive the Spar Nord Foundation Research Award 2024 for my extraordinary doctoral thesis at Aalborg University.

I regularly review for CVPR, ECCV, NeurIPS, TPAMI, TMLR, IJCV, and other top venues.
