Hi, I’m Paolo!
I’m a PhD candidate at Politecnico di Milano, focusing primarily on continual learning. I have a background in robotics and embodied AI, and I aim to develop AI agents that learn over time while interacting with the real world. I am currently interested in understanding and exploiting the properties of large-scale multimodal models to achieve this goal.
More about me
I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. I am part of the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Lab (AIRLab) and are advised by Prof. Matteo Matteucci. My research focuses on continual deep learning, with interest in applications for embodied agents. I recently visited Mila - Quebec AI Institute to work on large-scale foundation models with CERC-AAI Lab and Prof. Irina Rish. In the past, I worked on autonomous vehicle research. I obtained a MSc in Computer Science and Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2019. In the same year, I obtained a MSc in Computer Science from McMaster University, Canada. During this time, I have focused on perception systems for autonomous vehicles, collaborating with the Centre for Mechatronics and Hybrid Technologies (CMHT) in Hamilton, ON, and with the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. Following these activities, I have maintained projects in autonomous driving and agricultural robotics for several years, with publications in known conferences and journals in the field. I obtained my BSc in Computer Science and Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2016.
