Mehmet Aygün

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Edinburgh working (luckily) with Oisin Mac Aodha. My research revolves around developing methods for image understanding, where I aim to create systems that capable of reasoning about objects and their intricate relationships with minimal or no supervision.

Prior, I had the privilege of collaborating with Laura Leal-Taixé on problems related to 3/4D scene understanding during my master's degree at the Technical University of Munich.

Research

I am interested in computer vision and machine learning. In particular, I am interested in developing image understanding models that can learn fundamental priors and representations through self-supervision alone. Examples of which include investigating the role of shape in semantic understanding.
