Master Association Mimir

PhD lunch lecture
2025-06-10 12:30 - 13:30 (Europe/Amsterdam) | To be determined
Registration is closed, if you want to still visit (without lunch) feel free to come by at Neuron 0.116
Are you interested in using AI for medical images, computer vision, or maybe even doing a PhD? In this lunch lecture, two old AI&ES master students and current PhD’ers will tell you more about this.
They will give you some information that you can use to decide whether a PhD is something for you. Of course, they will also talk about their own research.
Simon Penninga uses generative AI techniques (diffusion models and VAEs) to create an agent that functions as an “active perceiver” in ultrasound imaging. He uses Bayesian posterior belief to generate images that align with the observations to create adaptive sampling schemes in real time to maximize information gain. Using this he can reach subsampling levels of up to 20-fold and still reproduce cardiac images.
Lemar Abdi does his research in the computer science field. He focuses on unsupervised out-of-distribution (OOD) detection using generative models. He will also show how information-theoretic insights can lead to state-of-the-art performance in OOD detection for medical images.

This lunch lecture will be held on the 10th of June from 12:30 – 13:30 in Neuron 0.116.

Mimir member lunch
2025-05-26 12:30 - 13:30 | To be determined
The Mimir member lunch is an opportunity to have a fun break with your peers, while enjoying a nice sandwich provided by us. Whether you want to come up with strategies to survive this quarter, complain about your lecture from the morning, or just enjoy some food, everything is possible! Non-members are also welcome to join. However, Mimir members will enjoy a discount on the lunch.
If the weather is nice, we will find a place outside on the grass close to Hubble. If it would not be a great idea to sit outside due to rain/temperature, we will arrange another location inside. We will let you know the location of the lunch no later than the day before (Sunday March 25th).
The price for members is € 1,50, for non-members it is €2,50.
Registration is closed

2025-05-13 16:30 - 19:00 | Het Walhalla, De Groene Loper 19, Eindhoven, 5612 AP, Netherlands
Mimir is doing another borrel in Het Walhalla!
Come join to talk about how poorly your team internship is going, talk about courses or gossip about professors. Done with University in general? You can also talk about what you are going to do during the holiday.
Not a member (yet)? Also feel free to come.
Hope to see you there!

GMM I

Excursie naar de Koninklijke Nederlandse Marine
2025-05-01 00:00 - 23:59 | Private: Den Helder
As a first excursion, Mimir will visit the Royal Netherlands Navy. Due to this being a government institution and matters of national defence, we cannot accept students without a Dutch passport. The tour will also be in Dutch, so the rest of the information will also be provided in Dutch.

Registratie is gesloten.

Op donderdag 1 mei is er een excursie naar de koninklijke Nederlandse marine in Den Helder. We zullen die ochtend vertrekken met een bus vanuit Eindhoven. Na een lange busrit zullen we op het terrein van de marine rondgeleid worden op een van de schepen. Het multipurposefregat (M-fregat) is inzetbaar voor oppervlakteoorlogsvoering en onderzeebootbestrijding. Het heeft tevens ook zijn eigen luchtverdediging aan boord.
Er wordt in de middag lunch aangeboden. Na de lunch wordt er waarschijnlijk een praatje gehouden door de mijnenjagers. Details volgen.
Er zijn minstens 12 plekken beschikbaar op deze excursie. In het selectie proces geven wij voorrang aan Mimir leden (degenen die zich aangemeld hebben, betaling hoeft nog niet voldaan te zijn). Verder is het op volgorde van aanmelding.
Zit je niet in de eerste 12 aanmeldingen? Niet getreurd, afhankelijk van animo kunnen er nog extra plekken vrij komen. Verder kunnen mensen zich nog altijd afmelden.
De excursie is gratis. We hanteren een boete van € 10 voor het te laat afmelden voor de toelatingen.
