Simone PALAZZO
Nel 2007 consegue la Laurea in Ingegneria Informatica (110/110 e lode) presso l'Università degli Studi di Catania, e nel 2010 la Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Informatica (110/110 e lode), presso lo stesso ateneo. Successivamente a quest'ultima svolge un periodo di formazione presso il centro di ricerca JET-EFDA (Culham, Oxfordshire, UK), risultando vincitore di una borsa di studio promossa dall'Ambasciata italiana a Londra. Nel 2017 consegue il dottorato di ricerca presso l'Università di Catania, presentando una tesi dal titolo "Hybrid Human-Machine Vision Systems for Automated Object Segmentation and Categorization".
Tra il 2017 al 2020 svolge attività di assegnista di ricerca presso l'Università di Catania. Dal marzo 2020 è ricercatore (RTDA) nello stesso ateneo, dove svolge attività didattica e scientifica presso il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica, Elettronica ed Informatica (DIEEI) nel settore "Sistemi di Elaborazione delle Informazioni" (ING-INF/05). Passa al ruolo di RTDB a settembre 2022.
Nel 2018 ottiene l’abilitazione scientifica nazionale per professore di II fascia nel settore concorsuale 09/H1 (s.s.d. ING-INF/05).
È autore di oltre 100 pubblicazioni su riviste e convegni internazionali ed è stato membro del comitato del programma tecnico o chair di diverse conferenze nel settore della computer vision/machine learning/multimedia.
