Marco Schouten

Hi there! I am a PhD student in AI/ML at DTU and a member of the Belongie Lab, where I am lucky to be advised by Dim P. Papadopoulos (main supervisor) and Serge Belongie (co-supervisor).

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

When I'm not coding, I enjoy drawing.
