Background

About Ivan Lillo

I. Lillo received his Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering in 2007, and his Master of Science degree the same year, specialized in medical signal and image processing, specifically in MRI images. Later, he worked in computer vision research, which naturally derived into Machine Learning systems. After five years of working as a researcher, he decided to become a PhD in computer science, motivated by great advances in the field between 2005 to 2010. In 2011 he starts researching about hierarchical and compositional models using latent variable formulations, which derived into an action recognition/detection model which was presented at CVPR 2014 conference, plus an update of the model that will be presented in CVPR 2016. His research interested are not limited to machine learning, as he worked in several projects/works over the last years, for example in tsunami modeling, X-Ray imaging, BCG signal processing, among others. With a strong background in C++ and Matlab, he has turned to Python for prototyping and deployment in some cases. Today, finishing his PhD during next months, he is looking to new horizons in continuing developing his career, wishing hopefully to be involved in relevant and challenging developments. I. Lillo was born in Chile in 1980, he is happily married, and has a beautiful 2 years-old child.
