Tell something about yourself?

I am Luca Palmieri, from the beautiful island of Venice, north of Italy. I pursued both my Bachelor’s and my Master’s Degree at the University of Padua, respectively in Information Engineering and Telecommunication Engineering, spending one year in the Polytechnic University of Barcelona during my Master enrolled in the Erasmus Program.

My studies now are focused mainly on Computer Vision with a keen interest 3D Reconstruction of the scene, while I try to have some times to travel around the world as much as possible, learn new languages and meet new people; as a hobby I play soccer since I was a little kid.

Why did you apply to ETN-FPI project?

I wanted to continue my studies in the research area I am interested, and the proposal matched exactly my expectations. Moreover, being a European project involving several universities in different countries assures a solid infrastructure and a wide network for the researcher participating in the project that is crucial for reaching the objectives.

What kind of expectations do you have for your research project and network training?

I really hope to achieve some important results that could be of some use in my specific area of the scientific community and at the same time build connections with many different researchers with different background to form a heterogeneous team in order to gain the expertise needed to create something valuable in the future.

Luca Palmieri is based in Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel 2016-2019, and his research project “Efficient metric surface reconstruction and motion analysis from microlens-based plenoptic images” is linked to Work package 2.
