Exciting news! I’m joining the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) as an Assistant Professor! 🚀 . I am also grateful for my time @KU_Leuven and the more than three years I spent in Belgium. Here’s to new beginnings – to the Netherlands!.

Deep neural networks perform well in object recognition, but do they perceive objects like humans?.We show that the classification performance of CNNs deteriorates with partial removal of the contours in incomplete polygons. For more details:

Excited to present our paper at the Vision for Art (VISART) VII workshop, part of #ECCV2024 next week!.See you in Milan ✈️.GitHub: Paper:

Here we go again! September in academia - feels like we have already been through a whole year. Wishing everyone an inspiring and successful year ahead! 📚.#academiclife #NewBeginnings

Big thanks to everyone who came to see my poster at #ECVP2024! Grateful for the incredible interest and valuable feedback on my work on Explainable AI. Looking forward to the rest of the conference and more great discussions 🙌

🎨Excited to announce our revised paper, 'From Paintbrush to Pixel: A Review of Deep Neural Networks in AI-Generated Art', in collaboration with my colleague Anne-Sofie Maerten! Check it out on arXiv:

To future candidates, I suggest incorporating detailed mobility plans into your projects. This can be done relatively easily. Without this, your efforts in research, the quality of your work, and the intense labor involved in writing the project proposal might be in vain.

However, it appears that FWO places significant importance on having a concrete mobility plan outlined in the project proposal.

Overall, the main reason for the rejection was the lack of a mobility plan in my project. As an international researcher in Belgium, I am already engaged in developing international collaborations. Additionally, I mentioned potential mobility opportunities during my interview.

They provided me with detailed feedback, for which I am truly grateful. Although this feedback is confidential, I am pleased with the positive remarks on my researcher profile, my project, and the interdisciplinarity of my project, which was scored ‘excellent’.

I had a positive interview experience. However, at the end of May, I received the results indicating that my project was not accepted. I then waited for feedback from the FWO regarding my project and interview.

I applied for the FWO Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship last November and was invited for an interview in Brussels this May. I am grateful for the opportunity and the valuable experience it provided.

For those unfamiliar, the FWO is a prestigious grant opportunity in Belgium for academics to fund their research projects.

To future @FWOVlaanderen postdoctoral fellowship candidates, I'd like to share some insights from my experience with the FWO this year.
