Dr Astrid Zeman is a Research Fellow in Deep Learning at the KULeuven. Originally from Australia and now based in Belgium, she has worked in robotics and artificial intelligence for over a decade. Astrid has won national and international competitions in robotics (including the Robocup Standard Platform League) and was the top-ranked single entrant competitor for the international Brain Computer Interface (BCI) Competition IV, EEG dataset. Astrid completed her PhD in 2016 in Cognitive Science, on the computational modelling of visual illusions. Her work received international news coverage via NBC News. Currently, Astrid builds deep neural networks that mimic the way that our brains process images, to better understand how our visual system processes shape and objects.
