ECCV 2022 - Wednesday

18 have otherwise. How do we receive gifts in Europe? Much more similar to America. [ laughs ] That's not so much of a thing, but now that I've been there for a few years, I definitely feel more comfortable feeling like I have a home in Munich now. I guess getting used to living there, the general sentiment and attitude of people, and sort of the university environment, I definitely feel more Californian. There's definitely a small part of me that feels like, hey, this is my home in Munich! Do you see yourself continuing your life in Europe in the midterm? It's a definite possibility. I just want to do some cool research with some cool people, so I'll go where that is. If I ask you where you see yourself ten years from now, do you feel more like a researcher or a teacher? I have a very hard time predicting what will happen ten years from now. But probably, I'll still feel more like a researcher. I think the teaching part is fun in a different way, but the research part is what I think is really exciting. There's always new stuff coming, as you see, and there are always new surprises. Do you like surprises? I mean, sometimes you think, why didn't I think of that? [ laughs ] But it's always a good thing when a surprise comes, because it makes you think about new things, which is the cool part about research. What is good about teaching? It's nice to see other people's growth due to the university environment. That's scary at the very beginning because you feel like you have so much responsibility for what's going to happen. But that’s kind of cool. It's something that you wouldn't really have too much of a chance to get in any other kind of environment. I think it's really just seeing people develop in this kind of close-contact fashion. Especially for PhD students when you're working with them all the time, close together, to see them develop over time. That's the best part. I think it's a question that I asked Sanja Filder five years ago, also in Hawaii, actually. I asked her, do Women in Computer Vision
