Murilo Gustineli

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

I am also an MS CS student at Georgia Tech. My research interests lie at the intersection of representation learning and computer vision, with a focus on learning robust representations for fine-grained tasks, including bridging the focal-to-soundscape domain gap in bioacoustics and multi-label plant classification.

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