Hello!

My name is Matteo Dunnhofer.

I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow (as RTT). I work between the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics of the University of Udine (Udine, Italy), and the Centre for Vision Research at York University (Toronto, Canada).

I come from Tarvisio, a small town located in the Italian Alps. I received the BSc and MSc in Computer Science and the PhD in Industrial and Information Engineering from the University of Udine in 2016, 2018, and 2022 respectively. I have been a visiting student at the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision of the Queensland University of Technology (Brisbane, Australia). More recently, I spent time as a visiting researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, USA), and at the University of Alcalà (Madrid, Spain).

The goal of my research is to let machines sense and understand object dynamics in videos by learning from real-world examples. More specifically, I do research on deep learning algorithms for computer vision, in particular for visual object tracking. On these topics, I published several papers in international conferences and journals, and I received an award for winning the Visual Object Tracking VOT2021 long-term challenge held at ICCV 2021.

I serve as reviewer for the most relevant conferences and journals in computer vision, pattern recognition, robotics, and medical image analysis. I was recognized as an outstanding reviewer by ECCV 2022. I have been involved in the organization of a series of workshops on Computer Vision for Winter Sports at WACV and of object tracking challenges at CVPR. I am also an associate editor of The Visual Computer journal.
