Position
Professor
 
Newsflash
We're always looking for good postdocs to join our team. Candidates with experience in the area of Computer Vision (especially object recognition) and multiple papers in either TPAMI, IJCV, CVIU, ICCV, ECCV or CVPR are encouraged to apply.
Also good master students interested in starting a PhD are encouraged to apply.
 
Background
I received a Master of Electrical Engineering from the  K.U. Leuven , Belgium in 1996. Since my graduation, I've been working at the  VISICS -lab within  ESAT - PSI   of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven , where I defended my PhD on december 19, 2000, entitled "Local Invariant Features for Registration and Recognition".
During most of 2006 and early 2007, I was also parttime (20%) visiting scientist at the LEAR group of INRIA in Grenoble. Summer 2008, I visited the Making Sense from Data group at NICTA in Canberra, Australia. Summer 2010 I visited Trevor Darrell's group at ICSI/EECS UC Berkeley.
Since October 2008, I'm appointed research professor (BOF-ZAP) at the K.U.Leuven.
