Marcos V. Conde

CVLab, Würzburg, Germany

PhD Researcher in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision at the University of Würzburg, advised by Prof. Radu Timofte. I’m Computer Vision Scientist at Sony SIE working on problems in computer vision related to my thesis. I am also Senior Data Scientist (Kaggle Grandmaster) at H2O.ai, ranked 42nd of 205.000 data scientists worldwide at Google’s largest data science platform for problem-solving.

My current research interests include neural networks, machine learning, low-level computer vision, inverse problems, computational photography and photorealism.

During 2020-21, I worked on image processing at Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab (London) supervised by Dr. Eduardo Pérez-Pellitero and Prof. Aleš Leonardis.
I obtained my M.Sc. in Computer Vision from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) with honours for my work Real-time Image Enhancement for Smartphones.

Outside of academia, my hobbies include hiking, photography, history, economy, and art.
