Murilo Gustineli

I am a Machine Learning Engineer at Voxel51 and an MS CS student at Georgia Tech. My research interests lie at the intersection of representation learning and computer vision.

My current work focuses on learning robust representations for fine-grained tasks, including bridging the focal-to-soundscape domain gap in bioacoustics and multi-label plant classification, as well as exploring diffusion models.

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