Research Areas
Six major research lines combining scientific rigor and social impact in partnership with industry and government.
Artificial Intelligence & Data Science
Intelligent systems for prediction, clustering, time series analysis, and legal judgment outcome modeling applied to energy sector and public administration data. Research spans Balanced Bagging classifiers, XGBoost, gradient boosting, and deep learning architectures applied to real-world large-scale datasets.
See more →Virtual & Augmented Reality
Immersive and mixed-reality environments for industrial operator training, augmented scenic performances, folk dance motion capture, and AR-based field inspection systems across energy and cultural heritage domains.
See more →Computer Vision & Medical Imaging
Detection, segmentation, and classification of pathologies across colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, chest radiography, MRI, CT, ophthalmology, histopathology, and PET scans. Research covers strabismus, glaucoma, AMD, colon and penile cancer, kidney tumors, cardiac structures, endometriosis, and seismic gas segmentation.
