Meet Joel.
In this interview, we make acquaintances with Joel who is writing his Master Thesis at CellaVision. Read about why CellaVision was his number one choice when choosing a company.
What was most important to you when it came to the organization for your Master's Thesis?
I think the most important part was the nature of the project. I wanted a project that was fun, interesting, and challenging to me. When I was looking at companies in Lund, I found Cellavision to be the most interesting company where I could work with machine learning and deep learning. It was also important that the company felt like a good fit for me personally which is hard to know in advance, but after working here for a few weeks I feel like I made a really good choice.
What are you writing your Master's Thesis about?
So, I´m working at Innovations which is a small team at Cellavision focused on researching new areas that could be of interest for CellaVison in the future. I´m working a lot with image analysis, machine learning, and training neural networks for complex tasks. At Innovations, we try not to show our work too early which is why I can't go into too many details about my project, yet.
Have you heard about CellaVision before doing your Master's Thesis here?
Yes, I have heard about CellaVision a lot before. Especially from the F- guild at LTH where they have been sponsoring events and doing pubs and workshops consistently for a few years now. I also have many friends that have gotten jobs at CellaVision after their graduation.
Please describe the collaboration between you and your supervisor/mentor at CellaVision.
We collaborate a lot. In general, the whole Innovations team has two meetings per week where everyone can discuss any problems or questions they have encountered in their work. Outside of these meetings I also see my supervisor every day, answering questions, helping with hardware, or discussing theory. I feel very well taken care of.
What is the best thing about doing your Master's Thesis with CellaVision?
So far, I think it has been the colleagues of my department being very inclusive and helpful even though I am only a master thesis worker, I feel like a full-time employee. And it’s a bonus that the work is super interesting as well.
Could you recommend coming students to do their Master Thesis with CellaVision?
Yes, especially if you are interested in image analysis, machine learning, or deep learning with a real positive impact.
