Tomaso Fontanini
Assistant Professor (RTD/A)
Tomaso Fontanini received his Ph.D. in Information Engineering from the University of Parma in 2021 under the supervision of prof. Andrea Prati.
In 2020 he was a visiting student in the VisLAB laboratory of prof. Bir Bhanu at UCR (University of California, Riverside).
He is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Parma.
His current research interests include image generation and manipulation of facial attributes and styles in an unsupervised setting.
In the past, he worked on applying meta-learning techniques to generative adversarial networks and image retrieval.
He co-authored several publications about these topics in journals and international conferences.
He regularly serves as a reviewer for several international conferences such as CVPR, ICVV and ECCV.
