About me

Hi, I am Irene! I am a PhD student and research assistant at the Computer Vision Lab at TU Wien. I am a Marie Curie ITN fellow for the visuAAL project working on AI for dementia care.

My research project focuses on developing computer vision models for measuring dementia behaviours.

I’m always happy to discuss research collaborations, opportunities, or questions about my work.
