I am a Researcher at Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IDSIA): I am interested in Biomedical Image Processing, Computer Vision, Computer Graphics / Visualization and Distributed Algorithms / Robotics.

On this site you can find my current and past projects, publications and teaching activity and materials.

Notable news (in reverse chronological order):

• With Dan Ciresan, we won the ICPR 2012 challenge on mitosis detection in breast cancer histology images. Our entry outperforms all the 13 competing methods (results), with a significant advantage over the closest competitor. Our paper describing the approach was accepted at MICCAI 2013.
• Mar, 2012: With Dan Ciresan, we won (by a large margin) the ISBI 2012 challenge on segmentation of neuronal structures in electron microscopy stacks. Our entry outperforms all the 16 competing methods on each of the three considered metrics.  In addition, we are the only entry outperforming humans in the pixel error metric.
• Oct, 2011: Our paper "Artificial Defocus for Displaying Markers in Microscopy Z-Stacks" received an Honorable Mention award at IEEE VIS 2011.
• Swarm-robotics demo videos uploaded here.
