Summary
Matteo Prata is an AI research engineer with nine years of experience who blends academic rigor from a PhD at Sapienza with hands-on engineering at Leonardo, where he builds modular RL and high-frequency sensor processing frameworks for autonomous flight. He has moved research-grade algorithms into production-ready PyTorch and Ray RLlib systems, improving performance across segmentation, classification, prediction, generation and safe RL for uncrewed aircraft. His background as a recent postdoc gives him deep expertise in time-series modeling and algorithmic safety, while his role in successful project proposals shows aptitude for technical leadership and cross-team coordination. Matteo’s work emphasizes reproducible, modular design that bridges experimentation and deployment in safety-critical domains. Based in Genoa, he combines top academic honors with practical engineering impact, quietly favoring solutions that make complex models tractable in real-time embedded contexts.
