What collaborators say…

  • PhD Mentorship & Supervision

    I had the pleasure of being supervised by Vera for two years during my PhD, where we worked on the robustness of AI models for medical image analysis applied to lung cancer.
    I particularly appreciated her deep interest in the state of the art in deep learning, her kindness, and her guidance, especially during the writing of my first scientific paper.
    Vera knew how to guide me while giving me the right amount of autonomy and room for initiative.
    I wholeheartedly recommend her as a supervisor and colleague.

  • Internship Supervision & Technical Mentoring

    I was supervised during my six-month internship by Vera, and it was an enriching experience, both professionally and in terms of human relations. Thanks to her, I was able to greatly improve my skills in Computer Vision and Deep Learning, and her rigorous approach and management taught me how to organize long-term projects. She guided and advised me throughout the internship with her extensive knowledge of the field and her constant monitoring of the state of the art.
    I was fortunate to learn and work alongside her, and I highly recommend her as a mentor.
