Hi, I'm Kaleab. I am an AI enthusiast who is currently a second year graduate student of Erasmus Mundus Master's Joint Program in Image Processing and Computer Vision.
I have worked as a Assistant Lecturer at Addis Ababa University, which is the top and largest university in Ethiopia. I have also worked as a Research Assistant at VPU Lab @ Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain. I will soon join TU Graz Institute of Computer Graphics and Vision as a Research Associate (Scientific Employee) to do my Master’s thesis on ‘Continual Lifelong learning on Autonomous Vehicles’.
My research interests are in scene understanding, 3D reconstruction, and Mixed Reality.
I am most excited when working on pioneering research projects. I am fascinated by impactful research projects, but I am also keen to make contributions that advances the state of the art in computer vision while being applicable to other research areas.
Today, my journey has led me to my passion: to work on cutting edge applications of computer vision and deep learning in numerous application areas.
I'm deeply interested in the fields of Computer vision, Deep learning, Artificial Intelligence, Machine autonomy and Product development.
I'm extremely enthusiastic about AI and its power to make our world a better place to live; and I want to contribute my part on this captivating and wonderful scientific field working to solve the open problems in Computer Vision so as to build autonomous systems that can "see" and reason.

Kinfu attended my classes at PPCU, which he fulfilled with an excellent grade, moreover he was among the few students who obtained an offered mark. He was also exceptionally motivated and was successful in getting Excellent marks in all other courses. I also had the opportunity to check his research works and I can confirm that they are excellent contributions to the very competitive R&D field.

Kaleab has demonstrated very good programming skills, including the ability to work with different programming frameworks and code versioning tools. He has shown a high level of organization, and capabilities to work in a research team, actively proposing creative solutions in our weekly follow-up meetings.
Dr. Pablo Carballeira Lopez - Assistant Professor @ Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain.
Mr. Kinfu displayed an outstanding analytical skills and a strong ability to grasp complex ideas with ease. He is a skilful programmer with strong initiative. He proved to be diligent and systematic and was able to solve any given task in the scheduled time. Mr. Kinfu obtained deep insights on selected state-of-the-art image and video analysis techniques and developed effective research abilities.
