- Since June 2023, I am a principal research scientist in Machine Learning Research Group at Data61❤CSIRO (former NICTA). I am also appointed as an honorary associate professor (level D) at the Australian National University (ANU). I was as a post-doctoral researcher (2013-2015) in the team LEAR, INRIA, Grenoble. I received my BSc degree in Telecommunications and Software Eng in 2004 from the Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, and my PhD degree in Computer Vision in 2013 at CVSSP, University of Surrey, United Kingdom.
- I work on representation learning (contrastive/self-supervised learning, foundation models, llms, deep neural nets), graph neural nets, image classificaton/action recognition, zero-, one- and few-shot learning, domain adaptation, incremental learning, object segmentation/detection, 3D point clouds, generative nets, adversarial robustness, spectral/tensor learning, RKHS, optimal transportation (OT).

- I always look for motivated and hard-working students who are interested in doing research with me. However, you must have good mathematical and computational skills, preferably with prior experience in machine learning and/or computer vision. Strong programming skills in Python, Matlab and/or TensorFlow are a must, hands-on deep learning know-how is important too. Integrity, honesty, and ability to work under pressure and explore new problems while taking strict directions are a desired ability.
- The scholarships at the ANU are decided by a panel on the competitive basis. Normally, 1-3 candidates are selected among as many as 15-20 applicants aspiring to join our group. The candidates are expected to come from high-quality universities highly ranked in the QS Word University Rankings, e.g. see QS Global World Ranking for the ANU. The candidates are expected to have graduated with distinction (top 1% of university cohort, often university medalists, HD grades, minimum 5% of cohort and 1st class), have a very high GPA, have outstanding references from ideally professor-level referees and often have already a paper or two in top computer vision and machine learning conferences/journals such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, IJCAI, AAAI, KDD, WWW, TPAMI, IJCV, TIP, TNNLS, BMVC, WACV, etc., and/or even hold patents.
- There are two rounds of CECS/ANU scholarships, e.g. one around the 1st of April, and second around the 1st of August (including the domestic round). See more details here and here though be sure to e-mail HDR/research office for key dates as they tend to move around. An option may be also a scholarship from the Chinese Scholarship Council (I believe candidates must be already in touch with CSC by December and shortly after with the ANU). English-wise, an IELTS (or equivalent) with an overall score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component is required (taken no later than one year ago but the uni. can always proceed firstly with a conditional offer).
- I do not normally accept BSc/MSc (etc.) students for honours projects etc. simply due to lack of time. However, I may make an exception if an ANU student is on their way towards obtaining a high distinction (top 1% of university cohort, running for an university medalists, having HD grades and very high GPA, or at least being in minimum 5% of cohort and going for a clear cut 1st class degree), has interest in my research work and is seriously planning on pursuing a PhD under my guidance at the ANU (and has an understanding of general requirements and dedication required during PhD studies already explained above).
