Qualification:

• Masters in Artificial Intelligence, University of Pittsburg

• Masters in Computational Linguistics, Carnegie Mellon University

• BA in Computer Science, University of Milan

Overview:

Massimo joined the patent profession in 2017 after spending more than 20 years working on academic and industrial research on AI related projects in the USA, Germany and Japan. Massimo’s research spanned different sub-fields of AI from natural language processing, to knowledge representation, planning, decision systems, and recommendation systems. In his research activity, he served as a reviewer for numerous journals and served in the program committee of many scientific conferences.

In the patent profession, he has been very active in supporting companies in the filing and successful prosecution of standard essential patents in telecommunication as well as in graphic processing encoding and decoding. He also successfully prosecuted many applications related to, among others, 3D integrated circuits, hardware architecture, software, cloud computing, edge computing, sensor networks and internet of things. Massimo also contributed to the filing and prosecution of applications related to self-driving cars, with specific interest in the sensors-based decision process of self-driving cars, as well as applications of deep neural networks, with a focus on image processing, and improvements in the structure and training of deep neural networks.

Interests outside of work:

Massimo regularly practices Taekwondo, and when he is not busy with patents, he may be found hiking on the Italian or German Alps or somewhere in between Italy and Germany. When not hiking, he may be found biking around Munich, visiting art galleries or building strange contraptions in his basement.
