Dan Xu

I co-supervised Dan’s PhD when I was in University of Trento. I was also part of his PhD Jury!

Dan’s PhD lead to many nice contributions, for instance retrieving images from sketches [1, 2]. But also in learning representations [3].

Right now, Dan is a post-doctoral fellow in the Visual Geometry Group at University of Oxford.
