About me

I am Saman (Sam) Motamed, a PhD student at the Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology, Sofia University from April 2023. I am supervised by Prof. Luc Van Gool.

Broadly speaking, my interests revolve around generative vision models, unsupervised learning, and harnessing the power of large vision and language models towards personalised tasks.
