Ph.D. on Computer Vision and Machine Learning.
Senior AI Research Engineer at ActiveEon, Paris - France.
Experienced C++ and Python Developer.
15+ years of professional experience with software engineering, software architecture and software design. I have been working since Nov 2000 with low-level and high-level software development at several IT companies (please see my CV).
Summary of my AI research experience:
Since 2010, my AI research activities include intelligent video analysis for object detection, segmentation, and tracking, to perform event/action recognition and behavior classification/prediction.
I also developed and deployed computer vision and machine learning models on the edge using system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices like Raspberry PI, PandaBoard, and NVIDIA Jetson TX2.
My Ph.D. was focused on the application of advanced matrix and tensor methods for robust low-rank/sparse representation and subspace learning/clustering of multidimensional and streaming data, such as moving object detection and background-foreground separation in multi-spectral and multi-featured video sequences.
In the past, between my B.Sc. and my M.Sc, I worked on several embedded systems and robotic projects using microcontrollers and SoC boards to read sensors, I/O devices, performing data acquisition, signal processing, image/video processing, wireless communication and motor control.
