Hi there 👋 - I'm Luca Parolari, a PhD student at the University of Padova (Italy) as part of the Visual Intelligence and Machine Perception (VIMP) group.

I primarily work on self-supervised and contrastive learning on low-label and noisy settings, with a focus on medical imaging I've previously worked on generative AI for dataset generation and visual grounding. I have a deep fascination with astronomy.
