Hi! My name is Antonio Tavera. I am a dynamic, curious, and ambitious person who thrives on continuous learning. With a meticulous and goal-driven approach, I effectively collaborate with others and carefully plan my days for optimal productivity. I completed my doctoral studies at the VANDAL Laboratory of Politecnico di Torino. Throughout my PhD journey, I gained hands-on experience in applying Computer Vision techniques to tackle the complexities of Autonomous Driving and Aerial Image Analysis challenges. I founded and I am actually the CEO of Focoos AI.
