Torkel Glad, chair of the Docent committee, welcomed the new docents, and Professor Michael Felsberg delivered a short lecture titled "Machine Learning for Computer Vision."

The title of Docent, roughly equivalent to Associate Professor, represents a career step beyond a doctoral degree on the path to becoming a full professor. The requirements include conducting independent research, documented experience in teaching at various levels, and supervising doctoral students. The research must demonstrate both breadth and depth and have been published in recognized journals and/or conferences according to the publication standards of the respective field.
