Biography
Iro Laina joined the Visual Geometry Group at the University of Oxford as a PDRA in 2020 and became a Departmental Lecturer in Computer Vision in 2023. She has received her PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany, and her PhD dissertation has been recognized with the ECVA PhD Award. Before that, she completed a Msc in Biomedical Computing at TUM and a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA).
Her research focuses on developing perception systems for understanding images, videos, and the 3D world, via unsupervised and language-supervised learning.
Research Interests
- Computer Vision
