Gabriele Fanelli Welcome to my homepage! I am a research assistant and PhD candidate at the Computer Vision Laboratory (Biwi), in the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (D-ITET), at ETH Zurich. I have received a Master of Science in Computer Engineering (laurea V.O.) from the University of Rome "Sapienza", after developing my thesis at the Image Coding Group, Linköping University.

My research interests lie within the fields of computer vision, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and computer graphics. My PhD has a specific focus on multimodal facial behavior analysis.
I have been part of the European project HERMES (see video on youtube, or read the brochure) and of the IM2 Swiss National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) on Interactive Multimodal Information Management. I am currently involved in the EU project TANGO.
