About me
This page contains some info about me and my work, my experience and the relevant stages of my career, as well as my qualifications. It’s a short non-comprehensive curriculum vitae.
You can also find below, a short summary of my research work (see the Research page for more details), together with some links to publication repositories, such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and DBLP.
It’s also possible to download my CV in pdf, more details are present there. I’ll try to maintain it updated periodically, approx twice a year.
As for the socials below, I use Twitter (X) and Linkedin almost exclusively for work, while Instagram for leisure, not really a frequent user indeed.

Research summary
Main expertise on computer vision and pattern recognition, machine and deep learning, image and signal processing, and neuroimaging (data analysis).
Main research focus lies now on deep learning, specifically on domain adaptation and generalization, multimodal learning, learning with privileged information, zero and few-shot learning, and disentangling representation models. In general, I am interested in learning with imperfect data (imbalance, no/noisy labels, biased data), and how to leverage generated synthetic data to reach same performance as using real data.
Former experience in social signal processing approaches for the analysis of (even nonverbal) human behavior, with main applications related to surveillance and security, human-human and human-machine interaction, ambient intelligence, and retailing. Also major experience in standard industrial application domains such as visual inspection and automation.
