Camila has another couple of years to go before she has to think about what comes next after her PhD. She is torn between academia and industry but would love to continue working with different types of models and machine learning. “I really like this direction of quality assurance or just solutions to make these models usable in practice in a way that is safe, ” she says. “We are in a moment in time where we are very focused on improving performance, but then because of safety concerns and regulations we can’t use any of what we are doing in practice. We need to find a middle ground where we can use these things in a safe way.” Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina , Camila came to Germany for her bachelor’s degree, but had already attended a German school an “That was a bit of a coincidence!” she laughs. “I went to a German school because it was very close to my home, and I learnt German there. Once I finished my high school degree I wanted to go abroad and because I knew German, it was quite easy to apply for universities and get a student visa here. Germany is a very friendly country for students. It’s a really nice environment – and inexpensive too!” Camila is a member of the MICCAI Student Board and can be found on Twitter @camgbus.
