Vera Damerjian Pieters, PhD
From research to real-world AI: Consulting, education, impact
I am a Computer Vision specialist with a PhD and over a decade of experience across academic research and industrial innovation.
I’ve led applied AI projects and teams in industry, developed cutting-edge algorithms, and worked closely with cross-functional collaborators.
Alongside my research work, teaching has always been at the heart of what I do. Whether in formal settings or through mentoring, I’m driven by the belief that technical knowledge becomes powerful when it’s made accessible.
Today, I bring together research and practice to help others grow in AI. Through consulting, education, and storytelling, I aim to make advanced technologies more human-centered, more accessible, and more effective.
