Change of Institution
I have been a bit reluctant to make it public till now. I am happy to say that I will be joining the School of Computer Science – The University of Nottingham starting from 1st of May.
Project
PhenomUK Research Infrastructure
Now I can say this publicly. I am very excited to inform you that I am part of the project PhenomUK-RI led by Tony Pridmore (The University of Nottingham). The project officially started this month (Feb 2023) and will run for the next two years to scope the feasibility to Read more…

[Expired] Fully-funded PhD scholarship [UK applicants]
Image-based plant analysis for sustainable agriculture Image-based plant phenotyping allows the quantification of traits (e.g. leaf area, number, colour) reflecting plant performance non-destructively. This approach helps in deciphering the complex genetic-environment interactions influencing its performance and finding the best-adapted crop varieties to local environmental constraints for sustainable agriculture. Deep learning Read more…

[EXPIRED] Fully Funded PhD Scholarship
I am looking for a PhD student for the 3-year project entitled “Semi-Supervised, Unsupervised, and Self-Supervised Transfer Learning for Computer Vision”. Transfer learning has been demonstrated to improve the generalisation of deep neural networks to real-world applications, especially in situations where labelled training sets are missing. Current proposed methods work Read more…

Research Topic “Computer Vision in Plant Phenotyping and Agriculture” in Frontiers in Plant Science
Plant phenotyping is the identification of effects on plant structure and function (the phenotype) resulting from genotypic differences (i.e., differences in the genetic code) and the environmental conditions a plant has been exposed to. Knowledge of plant phenotypes is a key ingredient of the knowledge-based bioeconomy, which not only literally Read more…
Conference & Meeting
CVPPA 2021 Workshop at ICCV 2021
This workshop plans to showcase the challenges raised by working on computer vision for plant phenotyping and agriculture. Workshop goals include demonstrating the state-of-the-art, identifying key unsolved problems, and introducing computer scientists with an interest in plant phenotyping to the field. Effective plant phenotyping is urgently needed to support the Read more…
