Marko Savic

I am a first-year PhD candidate at CMVS, University of Oulu. I've worked previously on lung nodule segmentation in collaboration with UniTS Trieste and KIT Kyoto, the project resulted in a publication in MDPI Sensors. My current research is on remote physiological measurements, with a focus on disentagling identity related features from physiological ones.
