Bio

I have an M.Sc. degree in Engineering Physics from Lund Institute of Technology (2004), as well as a separate B.Sc. degree in Social Science with major in Psychology from Lund University (2005). I wrote my masters thesis in computer vision at the Cognitive Science department at Lund University in collaboration with the mathematical department at Lund Institute of Technology. Since September 2005, I am a research student at the Electronic Engineering department, Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom. My research interest is visual attention in multimedia processing, i.e., how visual attention is allocated on video sequences, and how this can be used within the fields of computer vision and multimedia processing.
