Bio

I am a Principal Computer Vision Scientist at Amazon in Berlin. I am passionate about multimodal models, connecting images/videos with language (e.g., MLLMs), creating models that people can seamlessly interact with and delivering them at scale. Some of my skills include: 1) the capacity to reason about a wide breath of science and products, and ability to switch to science depth mode at the right time; 2) the ability to design and prototype complex AI models and demonstrate their practical value to leadership; 3) a strong experience in transferring technology into a shipping product at scale.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Verona (Italy) in 2012 supervised by Prof. Vittorio Murino and Prof. Marco Cristani. During my Ph.D., I visited the University of British Columbia collaborating with Prof. Nando de Freitas. Before the current position, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Dartmouth College working with Prof. Lorenzo Torresani and I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Italian Institute of Technology working with Prof. Vittorio Murino.
