Hi! I'm Leonardo Monchieri

I'm a research fellow in Computer Vision at MediaLab-University of Padua.

I like getting email, even if it’s not strictly research related. Whether we know each other or not, feel free to reach out. If you're in Padua or we’re at the same conference, I’m always up for a coffee. Just say hi!

The best way to get in touch with me is via email.

Research

My research interests lie in computer vision and computer graphics, with a focus on multi-view reconstruction and foundation models.

My work right now focuses on semantic segmentation of 3D scenes from multi-view reconstruction via 3D Gaussian splatting.

Beside my research, I am also interested in Game development(i.e. Unity and Unreal) and 3D graphics(i.e. Blender). Passions which I cultivate as a hobby in my free time.

Education

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Milan and went on to complete my Master's in the same field at the University of Padua, Italy 🇮🇹. During my academic journey, I also had the opportunity to study abroad at Leiden University in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

MSc thesis

For my Master's thesis, I developed an image embedding model based on Inverse GANs and pseudo-random functions to obtain an efficent image compression algorithm.

BSc thesis

For my Bachelor's thesis, I developed a web application to visualize and analyze data from the Community-based activity center, a social network for healthcare and mental health.
