She’s an ELLIS Fellow and member of the ELLIS Program Multimodal Learning Systems. Her research area includes: Video Understanding; Egocentric Videos; Hand-Object Interactions; Multi-modal Learning (Video, Audio and Text).
When considering this campaign, she says, “Despite collective efforts, women, particularly in leadership roles, continue to be underrepresented in AI. By highlighting more role models, hopefully junior women in the field will feel encouraged to envision themselves in such positions.”
