Researcher

About

I am a PhD student at the Visual Cognitive Systems Lab at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Computer and Information Science. My research is supervised by prof. dr. Danijel Skočaj and focuses on the development of methods for detecting anomalies.

I have a diverse range of research interest, such as visual anomaly detection, image generation, zero-shot semantic segmentation, few-shot learning, and the broader domains of computer vision and deep learning.

I am engaged in both research and industry projects, where I apply computer vision and deep learning techniques to address real-world problems, applications, and diverse challenges.

Research

Visual anomaly detection

This research focuses on the development of unsupervised visual anomaly detection methods. Trained on anomaly-free samples only, these methods attempt to remove the need for a difficult acquisition of a diverse set of anomalous objects while aiming to match the performance of supervised methods.

Projects

MUXADMultimodal Image Understanding for Explainable Anomaly Detection

January 2025 - December 2027
The functional objective of the project is to advance anomaly detection in images by developing multimodal models that integrate visual and linguistic information to not only detect if and where anomalies occur but also explain why. The main research goal is to create novel methods for semantic image understanding, zero-shot multimodal anomaly detection, and multimodal explanations that improve AI’s interpretability and transparency while reducing reliance on annotated data.

MV4.0Data-driven framework for development of machine vision solutions

October 2021 - September 2025
MV4.0 developed a data-driven framework for industrial machine vision that reduces reliance on large densely annotated datasets by combining synthetic data generation, annotation-efficient learning, and self-supervised / unsupervised visual modelling. The project concluded with validated methods for surface-defect detection, object localization and 3DoF pose-related perception, public scientific outputs, and a practical demonstration cell.
