Nina Shvetsova

I am a third-year PhD student at University of Bonn (previously at Goethe University Frankfurt), advised by Prof. Hilde Kuehne, and a visiting PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, advised by Prof. Bernt Schiele. As part of ELLIS PhD program, I'm also co-supervised by Prof. Christian Rupprecht, University of Oxford. I'm also participating in MIT-IBM Watson Sight and Sound Project. My primary research area is deep learning for video and image understanding through self-supervised and multi-modal learning.

Before this, I received B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science at the Moscow State University, where I worked on image anomaly detection, advised by Prof. Anton Konushin. During my master's, I also worked in Philips Research on medical image analysis.
