Henrique's home

I am a researcher in Computer Vision and an engineer. I currently work as a Data Scientist at Verizon Connect and I am a PhD student at the University of Bologna. I am funded by the SMARTHEP Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Network.

Education

PhD in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Bologna (Nov 2022 - Present)

Researching on Computer Vision. Supervised by Samuele Salti (University of Bologna), Leonardo Taccari (Verizon Connect) and Francesco Sambo (Verizon Connect).

MSc in Computer Vision at the University of Vigo (Sep 2020 - Feb 2022)

IMCV, jointly imparted by three Spanish (Coruña, Santiago de Compostela and Vigo) and one Portuguese (Porto) university, taught by active researchers in the field.

BSc in Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering (Sep 2016 - Sep 2020)

At the School of Industrial Engineering at UVigo, with advanced studies on automation. For my BSc thesis, I developed an application for the automatic recognition and inventory of assests in railways using convolutional neural networks, which sparked my curiosity in computer vision.

Experience

Data Scientist at Verizon Connect (Sep 2022 - Present)
