Murilo Gustineli

I’m a Machine Learning Engineer at Voxel51, where I help customers build their ML workflows with FiftyOne.

I’m also an MS CS student at Georgia Tech. My research interest is understanding when and why learned representations transfer across domains and modalities, and building models that transfer better. My work has focused on fine-grained recognition, from bridging the focal-to-soundscape domain gap in bioacoustics to multi-label plant classification.

I also co-founded DS@GT Applied Research & Competitions (ARC), a student-run group advancing ML research through competitive challenges and peer-reviewed publications.
