Senior🎓
Top SchoolPietro Mazzaglia is a Senior Machine Learning Researcher based in Amsterdam with eight years of experience focused on embodied AI and robotic manipulation. He combines academic rigor—pursuing a PhD in Computer Science Engineering at Ghent University and an AI master's from Manchester—with industry research roles at Qualcomm, Dyson, and collaborative work with ServiceNow and Mila. His portfolio includes publications and demos spanning reinforcement learning, affordance-based manipulation, world models, and multimodal robot learning, with papers presented at ICLR, ICML, ICRA and RA-L. Pietro has repeatedly turned internships into tangible outcomes (conference publications, journal articles, and company demos), demonstrating an ability to close the loop from theory to deployed prototypes. Notably, he has worked under and alongside leading researchers (e.g., Aaron Courville) and contributed to large-scale unsupervised RL benchmarks, signaling depth in both foundational research and scalable evaluation. He brings a pragmatic research mindset that prioritizes reproducible results and real-world robotic performance.
