About me

Portrait of Gabriele Rosi

I am a PhD candidate in the Italian National PhD Program in Artificial Intelligence at Politecnico di Torino, in the VANDAL lab, in collaboration with the startup FocoosAI, supervised by Prof. Giuseppe Averta, Prof. Carlo Masone and Dr. Fabio Cermelli. I am part of the ELLIS PhD Program. My research focuses on visual understanding: image segmentation, efficient deep learning, and adapting models to new visual concepts with limited supervision. Since April 2026 I am visiting the Fundamental AI Lab (FunAI Lab) at the University of Technology Nuremberg (UTN), working with Prof. Yuki M. Asano on spatial understanding in streaming videos. Before starting my PhD, I earned an MSc in Data Science & Engineering from Politecnico di Torino and a BSc in Computer Engineering from the University of Pisa.
