Marco Schouten

Ciao, I am a PhD student in Computer Science at DTU and a member of the Belongie Lab, lucky to be advised by Prof Dim P. Papadopoulos and Prof Serge Belongie.

Previously, I completed my Master's degree at KTH Stockholm and my Bachelor's degree at the University of Genoa. I am currently at Adobe Paris as a research scientist intern, working in Prof Tamy Boubekeur's team.

In my free time, I enjoy drawing spending time outdoors, and a good tennis rally.

I am on the job market for spring 2027.
