Development of deep learning solutions for Arbrea augmented reality 3D simulator

I developed a video recording and editing app with real-time multi-user synchronization and a serverless backend in Flutter, Python and Objective-C for Ahead Technologies s.r.l.Beside this, throughout my studies I carried out many other projects either independently or in a team: web frontends, backends, interactive data visualizations, mobile apps.

• Implemented a 3D surface reconstruction and an automated calibration pipeline for a medical robot with multiple depth cameras
• Developed a hybrid recurrent-convolutional neural network for on-the-edge, real-time heart activity monitoring with a novel strain sensor that was tested ex-vivo and in-vivo; lead author of a publication on IEEE sensors
• Developed a small scale IoT data ingestion, monitoring and query processing system employing ML models; tested three use cases with… Show more
• Developed a small scale IoT data ingestion, monitoring and query processing system employing ML models; tested three use cases with industrial partners and achieved a 3x to 8x error decrease in a metal sheet bending.
• Small teaching and student supervision activities Show less

Eindhoven, Paesi Bassi

I performed research on increasing efficiency of deep neural networks through sparsity and implemented new bio-inspired dynamic (during training) topology evolution algorithms.

Pisa, Italia

I built a deep learning-based solution for extracting information from receipts using the camera and integrated it in a mobile app. I also worked on web development projects.JEBE is the Junior Enterprise of the Sant’Anna School, a no-profit student-run consulting company that connects the academia and the real business world.

I built the front-end and part of the backend of a music social network that allowed artists to share their work and connect with fans. In just about six months it attained over 1.5 million unique monthly visitors and 150 thousands users. Acquired by T.E. Holdings LLC.
