Carlo Romeo
Hi everyone, this is Carlo!
I am an AI Researcher, Machine Learning Engineer, and a Ph.D. Candidate in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Florence (Med). My research focuses heavily on Reinforcement Learning, specifically exploring offline RL, computational efficiency, and how to train agents in severely data-scarce environments. I was born in the beautiful Reggio Calabria, the southernmost city of the Italian peninsula, where I earned my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Information and Communication Technology Engineering (ICT) at the Mediterranea University.
Before fully committing to my Ph.D., I worked in the industry as a Machine Learning Engineer, where I built and deployed production-level anomaly detection models and recommendation systems. Recently, I also expanded my research as a Visiting Ph.D. Researcher at the Computer Vision Center (CVC) in Barcelona.
What else about me?
- 🧙♂️ The Lord of the Rings: No words needed, except for: Not all those who wander are lost.
- 🎮 Video Games: A relentless gamer since I got my PS1 in Christmas ‘99. I thrive on brutal challenges, which naturally makes me a massive Souls-like player. Favourite games: Dark Souls, Shadow of the Colossus, Red Dead Redemption (I + II), Dino Crisis 2, Assassin’s Creed 2, Ape Escape, Resident Evil 4, and Pokemon Yellow.
- 🎲 Dungeons & Dragons: Recently rolled my first D20 and got completely hooked. Now I’m hoarding manuals, rolling dice, and bringing fantasy stories to life with my friends. Best Classes: Necromancer (why not), Cleric Death Domain (heals you, bonks them), Dual-wielding Dark Elf Ranger (if you know, you know).
