Leandro A. Bugnon
I’m Assistant Researcher at sinc(i) - UNL - CONICET. I research on machine learning challenges such as representation learning applied to bioinformatics. I’m also interested in industry problems related to machine learning on bioinformatics, computer vision, and biomedical signals.
On the teaching side, I’m Assistant professor at Universidad Nacional del Litoral and Universidad Austral, where I teach machine learning (mostly deep learning) and image processing. I’ve taught some postgraduate courses and workshops in other places.
