Nermin Samet

I am a Research Scientist at Valeo.ai. Prior to joining Valeo.ai, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at ENPC ParisTech, IMAGINE Research Group with Prof. Vincent Lepetit. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in 2021 from the Department of Computer Engineering at METU under supervision of Dr. Emre Akbas. My primary research interests lie in computer vision, with a focus on data-efficient learning for 3D point clouds and human pose estimation.
