Claudio Ferrari is currently assistant professor (RTD/A) at the University of Parma.
He received the M.Sc. degree (cum laude) in Computer Engineering, and the Ph.D. degree in Information Engineering from the University of Florence in 2014 and 2018, respectively.
In 2014, he spent 6 months as visiting research scholar at the IRIS Computer Vision Lab of the University of Southern California (USC), working on the problem of pose invariant face recognition, under the supervision of Prof. Gerard Medioni.
His research interests include the analysis of humans, including face recognition, emotions and expressions analysis, 3D face and body modeling and reconstruction, and deep generative models for 2D/3D/4D face generation.
On these topics, he authored and co-authored more than 30 publications in international journals and conference proceedings.
