Bulat Khaertdinov (B.)

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Advanced Computing Sciences (DACS) at Maastricht University, where I also obtained my PhD in Artificial Intelligence in 2024. Since joining the department, I have focused on applying AI algorithms for human behavior understanding tasks: training machine and deep learning models to understand and recognize human activities, movements, gestures, and emotions. I am particularly interested in techniques, such as Self-Supervised Learning, that can leverage unannotated data from multiple modalities (vision, sensors) to train the AI models.

Relevant keywords: human behaviour understanding, affective computing, deep learning, self-supervised learning.
