Cesar Federico Caiafa

Cesar Federico Caiafa holds an Adjunct Professor position in the Engineering Department at the University of Buenos Aires (FIUBA) and serves as an independent researcher at IAR (Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomía) and CONICET (National Council for Scientific and Technical Research). He completed his Electronics Engineering degree in 1996 and earned a PhD in Engineering from the University of Buenos Aires in 2007. His research focuses on tensor factorizations and parsimonious representations applied to astronomy, biomedicine, neuroscience, and computational imaging.

As a visiting professor at Laboratoire de Physique (LPENSL) from January to February 2025, he collaborates on developing novel machine learning methods for microwave tomography, including unrolled neural networks and self-supervised learning. His visit strengthens Franco-Argentine ties in computational imaging and aims to establish an international research network (IRN-CNRS).

Key collaborations include work with Nelly Pustelnik (unrolled networks), Pierre Borgnat (neuroscience signal processing), and Julien Tachella (SiSyPh team). He will also deliver specialized courses on tensorial methods in machine learning and signal processing at ENS Lyon and Inria.

His research spans interdisciplinary fields such as brain connectomics, medical imaging analysis, and optimization algorithms for high-dimensional data. His contributions bridge theoretical advancements with practical applications in healthcare and astronomy.
