Undergrad
I teach Fundamentals of Computer Programming for the Bachelor Degree in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. In this course we learn how to design basic algorithms and how to code such algorithms in the C language. Basic data structures (list, trees), sorting and searching algorithms are covered.

Available Theses
My research is focussed on the use of deep learning for computer vision. If you are interested in topics such as: image generation/enhancement using GANs, object and action recognition, vehicle path prediction contact me email to discuss available projects. You may have a look at the following master and bachelor theses final projects to get an idea of the topics.
Take a look at my posts on my blog for summaries of my recent research results.

Hands on Advanced Bag-of-Words Models at ICIAP 2013 and ICPR 2014 with Lamberto Ballan
In this tutorial we will build a bag of words pipeline from scratch. Attendees will get an overview of this popular method including several practical and implementation details. We will try to code some simple steps of the pipeline in order to gain insight on the method. Code, data and pre-computed features are available on the website. A full working system will also be provided with all the solutions to the exercises proposed during the tutorial. The provided data is a subset (4 and 15 categories) of Caltech-101 dataset; the pipeline is compatible with the full Caltech-101 and Caltech-256 directory structure with no further modification.
