Welcome!

I'm Felipe Cadar, a Computer Vision PhD student specializing in image matching.

About Me

I am a computer science Ph.D. student enrolled in a joint doctoral degree program at Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil, and Université de Bourgogne, France. I have been doing research at the Laboratory of Computer Vision and Robotics (VeRLab) since I joined the CS undergrad program in the first semester of 2016. I really enjoy doing research and would love to see my work positively impact someone's life.
