I am a Research scientist at Sintef Digital and an Adjunct associate professor position at NTNU. I did my Ph.D. at the department of computer science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, advised by Sule Yildirim Yayilgan, Marius Pedersen, and Øistein Hovde. Before that, I received a Master’s degree from Chonbuk National University (Jeonju, South Korea) in 2014 and a Bachelor’s degree from Addis Ababa University (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) in 2009.
My research interests are broadly in Machine learning and computer vision, with emphasis on 3D vision and medical imaging for explainable and data-efficient learning. My current work focuses on deep learning for point cloud processing, underwater navigation, and capsule video endoscopy.
