Trento, Italy
Hi! I’m Luca, a PhD student in the Multimedia and Human Understanding Group at the University of Trento, where I’m advised by Elisa Ricci and co-advised by Massimiliano Mancini. I’m also a Student Researcher at Google Zurich, working in Federico Tombari’s group within the team led by Alessio Tonioni. My research focuses on vision-language models for video understanding, with applications ranging from step grounding in instructional videos to video-text alignment evaluation and anomaly detection in surveillance footage.
