Summary
🤩
RockstarMariana Afonso is a Senior Research Scientist specializing in video encoding with seven years of experience blending academic rigor and industry impact at Netflix. She holds a PhD in Video Compression from the University of Bristol and has driven perceptual optimization research—spanning adaptive-resolution HEVC frameworks, optical-flow evaluation for frame interpolation, and deep-learning approaches to super-resolution and denoising. At Netflix she translates perceptual rate-distortion research into practical encoding improvements for large-scale streaming, building on an earlier secondment to the Video Algorithms team. Comfortable moving between theory and production, she combines hands-on algorithm design with dataset creation and coding for real-world codecs. An international scholar trained in Portugal and Delft, she brings a research-led mindset to product-focused video engineering in the Bay Area.
