Hi, this is
Kaleab (ቃለአብ).
I am a PhD student at Johns Hopkins University, where I am affiliated with the Mathematical Institute
for Data Science and have been extremely fortunate to be advised by
Prof. René Vidal and Prof. Joshua Vogelstein.
I am also an alumni of Erasmus Mundus Master's Joint Program in Image Processing and
Computer Vision, where I was very grateful to work as a Research Assistant at VPU Lab of the Autonomous
University of Madrid and as a Scientific Employee at TU Graz Institute of Computer Graphics
and Vision to do my Master’s thesis on ‘Lifelong learning on Autonomous Vehicles’ under the supervision of Prof.
Horst Bischof.
My research interests are in Image Processing, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning.
I'm extremely enthusiastic about AI and its power to make our world a better place to live; and I want to
contribute my part on this captivating and wonderful scientific field working to solve the open problems in
Computer Vision and Machine Learning so as to build autonomous systems that can "see" and reason.
