Hilda Deborah
About
Senior Researcher at the Department of Computer Science (IDI Gjøvik) with expertise in spectral imaging, mathematical morphology, and soft metrology for image processing. My current interest lies in texture perception and analysis, digital humanities, as well exploring creative ways for the public dissemination of imaging research using interaction design methodologies and processes.
I am a part of NTNU's Outstanding Academic Fellow Programme 4.0 (2022-2026) I was Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow (2018-2020) through the FRIPRO Mobility "Metrological Texture Analysis for Hyperspectral Images," funded by the Research Council of Norway, with research mobility at the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering, University of Iceland. I obtained a double degree PhD in Computer Science from NTNU and PhD in Signal and Image Processing from Université de Poitiers in 2016.
