Hi! My name is Antonio Tavera. I'm an open, curious, imaginative, perfectionist, and goal-oriented person who enjoys learning. I work well with others and follow a strict schedule, coordinating and preparing my days ahead of time. I'm currently a PhD student at the Politecnico di Torino, collaborating with the Italdesign company and being supervised by Prof. Barbara Caputo. I'm working on Computer Vision applications to the challenge of Autonomous Driving. In this context, my primary goal is to create solutions that will make self-driving techniques safer, quicker, and more efficient. Semantic Segmentation and Domain Adaptation are my primary research areas.
