Research:	Nataliya is working in the FishView project the goal of which is to develop a robot that can swim upstream and find its own hydrodynamically efficient way through the flow. The topic of Nataliya's PhD work was Image Processing and Analysis Methods for Pulp Process Measurement that is carried out in the PulpVision Project. The goal of the project is to develop image analysis methods that would allow the paper- and pulpmaking industies to reach a resource efficient and environmentally sound production.
