Last week our lab celebrated the doctoral defense of Hamed Behzadi. It has been four years since Hamed join us, and his evolution into fully fledged independent researcher has been constant. Congratulations!
See shorturl.at/296MV for some of the work produced by Hamed.

Had the pleasure of being part of Dr. Hamed Behzadi-Khormouji's PhD evaluation committee at the University of Antwerp
Well done today on your Pre-defence! You are almost there!
And when in Antwerp 🇧🇪... I presented my work at @sqirllab.bsky.social; thanks @jaom7.bsky.social for the invitation!

Neural networks are not black boxes. They're the opposite of black boxes: we have extensive access to their internals.
I think people have accepted this framing so innately that they've forgotten it's not true and it even warps how they do experiments.
