My professional experience is mainly concerned with the coordination of R&D activities in the field of Artificial Intelligence, applied to industry and services automation. At present my principal interests are- dynamic optimization of transport systems (mainly railway), - ship voyage optimization,- computational aspects of 3D vision,- underwater imaging,- marine environmental monitoring,- statistical tools for machine/deep learning,- predictive maintenance for industrial systemsIn the past I was involved in many different projects related with automation, but often sharing similar aspect from the mathematical point of view.Specialties: Mathematical modeling of complex system.Optimization of functions in large parameter spacesStatistical analysis and data miningDigital data processing (audio, images, video).OCR and license plate recognition3D computer visionMachine/deep learning algorithmsI am contract professor at Genova University (Department of Mathematics) where I teach "Predictive Methods", a course offered for the degree in Statistics.
