Sebastiano VASCON

Sebastiano Vascon is an Associate Professor at Ca' Foscari University of Venice's Department of Environmental Sciences, Computer Science and Statistics (DAIS), and affiliated with the European Center for Living Technology. He earned his PhD in 2016 from the Italian Institute of Technology and University of Genoa, focusing on evolutionary game theory in pattern analysis and computer vision. His postdoctoral work spanned institutions like the Technical University of Munich and ETH Zurich, where he specialized in Active Learning and multi-object tracking. His research merges AI with interdisciplinary challenges, including climate change, environmental science, and cultural heritage preservation. Key areas include graph neural networks, computer vision, and game-theoretic models. He leads projects like RePAIR (AI for cultural heritage reassembly) and EasyWalk (AI-driven mobility solutions), and contributes to initiatives like MEMEX (digital storytelling). Teaching spans courses in Deep Learning, Machine Learning for Environmental Applications, and AI in Cultural Management.

Research projects include:

• RePAIR: AI-driven 3D puzzle solving for artifact reconstruction
• EasyWalk: Socially-aware navigation systems
• MEMEX: AI for inclusive digital storytelling
• Climate modeling with IceBoost framework

Publications highlight innovations in trajectory forecasting, environmental risk assessment, and graph-based methods. He actively reviews for top conferences (CVPR, ECCV) and journals.
