Umberto Michieli
Senior Researcher at Samsung Research UK

About


I am a Senior AI Researcher at Samsung Research UK where I serve as the tech lead for on-device personalized AI projects.
I contribute to the adoption of AI in everyday life and to its adaptation to meet users' needs.

My interests broadly lie at the intersection of foundation AI problems (e.g., Continual Learning, Domain Adaptation, Distributed/Federated Learning, Model Compression, Streaming Learning, Model Robustness,...) applied to several end tasks.

Our group at Samsung UK is often looking for good research intern / full-time candidates. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in working with us!
