I am a senior research scientist in Machine Learning Research Group at Data61❤CSIRO (former NICTA). I am also a senior honorary lecturer at Australian National University (ANU). Previously, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher in the team LEAR, INRIA, France. I received my BSc degree in Telecommunications and Software Engineering in 2004 from the Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, and completed my PhD degree in Computer Vision in 2013 at CVSSP, University of Surrey, UK.- My interests include graph neural networks, visual category/action recognition, zero-, one- and few shot learning, contrastive learning, domain adaptation, GANs, representation learning, feature pooling, spectral learning, tensor learning, RKHS, deep learning.

Studying for a PhD at the Australian National University
- I always look for motivated and hard-working students who are interested in doing research with me. However, you must have good mathematical and computational skills, preferably with prior experience in machine learning and/or computer vision. Strong programming skills in Python, Matlab and/or TensorFlow are a must, hands-on deep learning know-how is important too. Integrity, honesty, ability to work under pressure and explore while taking strict directions is a must.
- The scholarships at the ANU are decided by a panel on the competitive basis. Normally, 1-3 candidates are selected among as many as 15-20 applicants aspiring to join our group. The candidates are expected to come from high-quality universities highly ranked in the QS Word University Rankings, e.g. see QS Global World Ranking for the ANU. The candidates are expected to have graduated with distinction (top 1% of university cohort, often university medalists, HD grades, minimum 5% of cohort and 1st class), have a very high GPA, have outstanding references from ideally professor-level referees and often have already a paper or two in top computer vision and machine learning conferences/journals such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, IJCAI, AAAI, KDD, WWW, TPAMI, IJCV, TIP, TNNLS, BMVC, WACV, etc., and/or even hold patents.
- There are two rounds of CECS/ANU scholarships, e.g. one around the 15th of April, and second around the 15th of August (including the domestic round). See details at ANU PhD Scholarships though be sure to e-mail HDR/research office straight away for key dates as they tend to move around. An option may be also a scholarship from the Chinese Scholarship Council (I believe candidates must be already in touch with CSC by December and shortly after with the ANU). English-wise, an IELTS (or equivalent) with an overall score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component is required (taken no later than one year ago but the uni. can always proceed firstly with a conditional offer).
- I do not normally accept BSc/MSc (etc.) students for honours projects etc. simply due to lack of time. However, I may make an exception if an ANU student is on their way towards obtaining a high distinction (top 1% of university cohort, running for an university medalists, having HD grades and very high GPA, or at least being in minimum 5% of cohort and going for a clear cut 1st class degree), has interest in my research work and is seriously planning on pursuing a PhD under my guidance at the ANU (and has an understanding of general requirements and dedication required during PhD studies already explained above).
