Thesis Supervision
I have been working with students on their thesis projects, supporting them in developing their ideas into solid research. Over the years, I’ve supervised projects at different levels, covering topics in industrial computer vision and biometrics. My focus is on guiding students through research challenges while encouraging creativity, problem solving, and independent thinking.
