Prof. Fabio Galasso is a Full Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Sapienza University of Rome, where he heads the Perception and Intelligence Lab (PINLab). His research focuses on fundamental innovation in computer vision and machine learning, with particular emphasis on distributed intelligent systems, perception frameworks, and general intelligence within sustainable and interpretable AI contexts. His research interests span multiple domains of computer vision including video segmentation , motion forecasting , distributed intelligent systems , and shape reconstruction . Galasso's work emphasizes sustainable AI approaches that operate within constrained computational resources while maintaining interpretability and verifiability. His research bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications across retail, smart cities, and industrial settings. His recent publications demonstrate a clear progression toward increasingly complex human motion understanding and forecasting, with a strong emphasis on real-world applications. The research trajectory shows movement from foundational video segmentation techniques toward sophisticated motion prediction systems and anomaly detection frameworks that integrate multiple modalities. Key themes include temporal consistency, computational efficiency, and practical deployability in resource-constrained environments. His scientific achievements have been recognized with prestigious awards: 2019 IoT/WT Innovation World Cup 2019 Digital Champions Award 2018 Deutscher Digital Award Galasso has coordinated significant research initiatives including a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions project (Horizon 2020) and served as Principal Co-Investigator in multiple German-funded projects from the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Economics. His industry experience includes founding and directing OSRAM's Computer Vision Department in Munich, where he led R&D efforts connecting AI research with smart lighting applications, resulting in successful innovation transfers like the award-winning VISN product. He leads the Perception and Intelligence Lab (PINLab) at Sapienza University of Rome, fostering research that spans fundamental computer vision techniques to practical implementations in retail, smart cities, and industrial applications. The lab maintains strong connections with both academic institutions (including previous collaborations with University of Cambridge and Max Planck Institute) and industry partners.
