I'm a machine learning engineer, with a passion for computer vision and graphics.

About me

About me


Hi there, I am Youssef Alami Mejjati, a final year PhD candidate in the university of Bath, UK, and a recipient of the Marie Curie Fire fellowship. I am supervised by Dr Kwang In Kim, Dr James Tompkin and Prof Darren Cosker.

I am particularly interested in facilitating the image generation and editing pipelines for artists, professionals and practitioners.

Currently, advanced image creation requires professional software, human expertise and a lot of time. As a consequence, the creativity of many individuals cannot be seamlessly expressed. My goal is to solve this through AI powered algorithms allowing users to express their ideas and imagination in a controllable manner with only few clicks.



My hobbies include:
Hiking🏔, Travelling🛬, Geography🗺, Running🏃, Climbing🧗‍, Tennis🎾.
