Computer Vision News 24 Women in Computer Vision special? [laughs] No, I really don't think that I'm special. I honestly don't think that women are weaker in mathematics. However, I think we have to talk about the point that we are coming from. We're coming from the point that there is enough of the existing bias of what women should be occupied with and the lack of the examples of the women researchers. That's why the interviews that you do are so important. They provide examples to other women and young girls to broaden their spectrum of possibilities and realize, yes, I can do this. This is possible for me! You’ve told us something about the present and something about the past. Let’s speak about the future. Where are you planning to go? Currently, I'm increasing the amount of research activities in my day-today work. This is my current vector of development. But where it will bring me, I don't know for now. I do know that this is what I am enjoying doing, and this is important for me. Can you be a researcher all your life? [hesitates a moment] Hopefully. If we're talking from the mathematician's point of view, there is this preconception that mathematicians usually are most fruitful in their 20s, maybe 30s. Then, after this, there is some sort of decline in activity. I never heard that. That would be terrible if it were true. [laughs] This is a conception that I have heard, and I'm not sure if there are actually some sort of statistics regarding this. But in one form or another, I would like to continue doing research as much as possible. Because for me, one of my main drives is curiosity. That's what makes research appealing to me. I don't think this curiosity is going to go away with time. Are you curious about learning new things to progress yourself or to make progress in science? What is your drive? UKRAINE CORNER
