About

I am passionate about Machine Learning, with a strong focus on Computer Vision. I have over a year of industry experience and have worked on a range of projects, including both my Bachelor’s and Master’s theses.

I am a competitive programming enthusiast, having earned multiple medals at the Romanian National Olympiad in Informatics, along with several other distinctions during my studies.

Work Experience

Jul 2022 - Aug 2023

Machine Learning Engineer Intern

Xperi Inc., Bucharest, Romania

Engineered synthetic data generation pipelines in PyTorch, using GANs and image super-resolution
Improved a human segmentation network with the additional synthetic data
Enhanced a facial landmark detection network with synthetic data, achieving over 30% improvement under extreme head pose angles
Proposed a method for automatically labeling facial keypoint visibility, obtaining high accuracy on datasets with self-occlusions and external occlusions
Replaced a legacy head pose estimation method with a 3D Morphable Head Model fitting approach, increasing precision and robustness
