Luca Zelioli received B.S. degree from the Turku University of Applied Sciences (2018) and M.S. degree from the Åbo Akademi (2020). His M.S. thesis topic was “Environmental damage assessment based on satellite imagery using machine learning”.
He has been working as a Doctoral Candidate / Researcher in the Department of Computing, University of Turku since April 2021. In September 2024 he has been awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Field of Natural Sciences. The degree was completed in Computer Science. He has written a doctoral dissertation: "Leveraging machine learning for maritime object detection and peatland classification: harnessing the power of machine learning for precise maritime object detection and peatland classification".
Luca continues to work in the Department of Computing as a Senior Researcher.
His main research interests include Sensor Fusion, Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering.
