I am a PostDoctoral Fellow at the Visual Cognitive Systems Lab, from the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty of Computer and Information Science, working under the supervision of Luka Čehovin Zajc.

My research focuses on the automatic identification of microplastics in environmental samples, within the Microsight project in the SMASH program. I am developing computer vision and machine learning methods to detect, classify, and quantify microplastic particles from environmental samples, replacing slow and subjective manual inspection with automated, reproducible pipelines.

Before joining ViCoS, I worked on modeling the transport and fate of microplastics in riverine systems, including how particles are dispersed, retained, and buried in streambeds, as part of my research at the University of Trento. This work bridges environmental modeling and computer vision, aiming to connect where microplastics end up with how accurately and efficiently we can detect them.
