Marcelo Do Nascimento is a Senior Researcher at Microsoft with 11 years of engineering experience and a DPhil (PhD) in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford. His work specializes in neural network compression—distillation, pruning, and quantization—applied across edge super-resolution, large language models, and diffusion models for real-time image generation. He combines academic rigor from a collaboration with industry (Omnitek/Intel) with production-focused research aimed at making heavy models run efficiently on specialized hardware like FPGAs. Based in London, Marcelo is notable for translating FPGA-aware compression techniques from his DPhil into practical methods used at scale in Microsoft research.
