Hi!

I'm Anastasia (or Nastya), a Ph.D. student at  Nerf - empowered by Imec, KU Leuven and VIB. During my academic journey, I had the opportunity to undertake a research internship at ETH Zürich and to participate in an exchange program at Chalmers University of Technology. The focus of my current research lies in the field of computational neuroscience, which is the investment of brain function using mathematical tools and machine learning techniques.




Computational neuroscience

Computer Science

Have you ever wondered what exactly happens in your brain, that creates motivation to learn and regulates the art of remembering? (or doesn't, rip...)

At the Gonçalves Lab, I am trying to answer this question by building on tools of artificial intelligence that can explain the learning rules of human learning. Google some kick-ass words such as "normalizing flows" and "simulation-based inference" if you are interested in more details.

    For my Master's thesis, I developed a framework for the multipurpose description and evaluation of audio signals under the supervision of Geraint Wiggins. This framework allows inference from different subtasks and proposes a general improvement in the learnability of machine learning models. You can access the thesis by following this link.

    I wanted to acquire more skills in the VFX industry, so enrolled in the low- and high-poly modeling classes in 3ds Max from the DAE campus in order to get access to the 3D animation course in Maya. I studied classic animation based on the book Animator's survival kit. The course finished with animating techniques of facial expressions, body language, and animals.

Other passions and interests

⛸   Figure skating

I still actively participate in Belgian skating competitions and take pleasure in coaching young skaters. Check the instagram of my brother for a glimpse of some fascinating ice skating performances.

🎹  Jazz Piano & Vocals

I formed a music group with my friends in a slightly different genre than I was used to. Are you curious to explore our music? Feel free to visit our website for more information and to listen to our tracks.

🎬   Photo- & videography

During my internship at a video production studio, I discovered a deep fascination for the world of filmmaking and photography. Explore a selection of my portfolio
