The team behind the Challenge

Djamila Aouada

leads the Computer Vision, Imaging and Machine Intelligence (CVI2) research group at the Interdisciplinary 4Centre for Security, Reliability, and Trust (SnT) of the University of Luxembourg. She received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 2009 from North Carolina State University (NCSU). She has worked as a consultant for major research laboratories, i.e., LANL, Bell Labs., MERL. Her research interests include 3D shape modelling, RGB-D data enhancement, and multi-sensor fusion. She is the co-author of four IEEE best paper awards. Prof. Aouada is an IEEE Senior Member. She has served as Chair of the IEEE Benelux Women in Engineering Affinity Group (2014 – 2016), Chair of the SHApe Recovery from Partial textured 3D scans (SHARP) Workshop and Challenge in 2020 and in 2021, in conjunction with ECCV 2020, and CVPR 2021, respectively. She has also served as Area Chair at the 2020 International Conference on 3D Vision (3DV) and is the Program Chair at 3DV 2021.
