Hello

AI Researcher & Engineer with an M.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the University of Padova, specializing in machine learning and deep learning across diverse domains. My experience spans computer vision, recommendation systems, real-time AI applications, and emerging agentic systems, with growing expertise in large language models (LLMs), multimodal and graph-based learning, and a focus on knowledge graphs and semantic technologies for making research data findable and reusable.

Proficient in Python, C++, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and OpenCV, I combine strong software engineering practices — including DevOps/MLOps and scalable system design — with a passion for building robust AI systems that push the boundaries of efficiency and precision. My interests lie at the intersection of applied research and practical deployment of intelligent, agent-driven technologies.

Researcher
Graz University of Technology
Oct 2024 – Mar 2025 Graz, Austria

Responsibilities include:

  • Designed an auto-labeling framework that ensembles UPerNet, OCRNet, and DeepLabV3+ using logit fusion and SDF-weighted integration for consistent semantic segmentation predictions.
  • Refined ambiguous regions and boundries using zero-shot instance segmentation with the foundation model SAM, enabling label-agnostic fusion of semantic and instance outputs.
  • Achieved a 5.8% mIoU improvement over the best individual model while reducing annotation time to ∼ 3 seconds per image, significantly minimizing manual effort.
