Stefano Sinigardi is an Artificial Intelligence R&D Manager with 15 years of experience at the crossroads of physics, engineering and applied AI, currently leading research and productization efforts at Coesia in Bologna. He combines deep academic roots—a PhD in Physics and extensive postdoctoral work on laser-plasma acceleration—with hands-on industry delivery, having built real-time computer vision, IMU platforms, microwave weight estimation and 3D reconstruction pipelines. A seasoned project and team lead, he has managed large-scale HPC grants, produced over 20 peer-reviewed papers, and transitioned lab prototypes into production with modern CI/CD, modular dependency management and license tooling. Stefano is also an experienced contributor to developer tooling and build systems (notably work on vcpkg/CMake and YOLO/Darknet), reflecting an uncommon blend of low-level build expertise and high-level ML system design. His profile is distinguished by bridging MPI/OpenMP scientific computing (authoring codes like Propaga and contributing to PIC codes) with pragmatic product engineering for industrial automation.
