Can you share something that we don't know about Iran? It's a very beautiful country. The people are very nice and friendly. Would you say to visit Iran? Yes. It has many great and beautiful cities. [smiles] What’s one thing that is not very well known but you know is beautiful? [hesitates for a moment] I think many of them are well known. But in the south, there is the Persian Gulf and a spot where the desert meets the sea. I have not seen that myself, but I've been planning to do that for some years. Do you plan to go back to Iran one day to live? It is possible, but I am not planning that at the moment. The opportunities are better in Europe and the USA. After your PhD, do you plan to stay in the research area, or do you want to teach? First, I will be staying in academia for at least the next two years. I plan to stay in academia, probably as a postdoctoral researcher, because I love research. I didn't like teaching four years ago when I started my PhD. But then I got used to it and now I even like it. [laughs] Maybe you will have a young PhD student who will start working with you. Would you like that? Yes. I'm even supervising master's students now and in the past years during my PhD. Howmany? Each semester, maybe twenty. Wow. Is it demanding? It's difficult to manage the time and to have all the meetings, but it's also enjoyable. Are there some that are more talented than others? Yes, but one of the things is to try to match people and help all of them grow together. This was one of the challenges at the beginning of my work. I learned to help them grow as agroup. 26 DAILY ICCV Thursday Women in Computer Vision
