Interview with Veronika Cheplygina - Ep. 47
Manage episode 306784638 series 2833360
In today's episode of the PhD Talk podcast, we interview Dr. Veronika Cheplygina, associate professor at IT University Copenhagen in Denmark, blogger, and cat lover. We learn about Veronika's career path, and how academia has been pushing her away as well as pulling her back, and how she found her current position. We also learn about her research in machine learning, and the applications to medical imaging, as well as some current criticisms on this field of research.
We then go into Veronika's work on failure in academia - through her series of interviews on "How I fail" on her blog, her own "failures", and what she learned from opening the conversation on failure in academia, and how the notion of failure has shifted from (paper) rejections to the larger notion of being not in line with our values. Finally, we discuss academic Twitter, and the benefits Veronika has enjoyed of academic Twitter. We then round off the interview with our standard questions on setting boundaries, best advice, a day in the life, and the impact of COVID-19.
