About me

I am a Ph.D. student with the Robotics and Perception Group (RPG), supervised by Professor Davide Scaramuzza
(University of Zurich) and Associated Researcher at ETH AI Center. My research focuses on Sequence Modeling and Efficient Neural Network Architectures for Event-based Vision. Incorporating sequence modeling into event-based vision systems promises to significantly enhance the temporal resolution and predictive accuracy of these networks, paving the way for breakthroughs in dynamic environments where rapid and precise visual processing is crucial, such as in advanced robotics and real-time surveillance.

Before my Ph.D., I obtained a Master's Degree in Computer Science from University of Novi Sad while interning at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Professor Pietro Lio.

What I'm excited about
