Hi there 👋 - I'm Luca Parolari, a PhD student at the University of Padova (Italy) as part of the Visual Intelligence and Machine Perception (VIMP) group.
I primarily work in medical imaging for computer-aided diagnosis, specifically in polyp tracking and re-identification in colonoscopy videos. I've previously worked on generative AI for dataset generation and visual grounding. I have a deep fascination with astronomy.
