Mr Rodrigo Fonseca de Santa Cruz Oliveira
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Biography
Rodrigo Santa Cruz is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Medical Image Analysis Team of CSIRO, based in Brisbane, Australia. He currently works on computer vision and machine learning applied to medical imaging problems like cortical surface reconstruction, brain segmentation, and morphometry.
Previously, he was a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the Australian National University (ANU), under the supervision of Ph.D. Basura Fernando, Ph.D. Anoop Cherian and Prof. Stephen Gould. He was also associated with the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision (ACRV). Before joining ANU, he graduated from the University of Pernambuco (UPE), Brazil, with a Bachelor of Computer Engineering in August 2014.
Other Interests
I have a broad interest in Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning, and its applications. While I spent most of my Ph.D. working on problems related to visual recognition with minimal human supervision, I’m currently working on medical images analysis. My goal is to design and build systems that can efficiently extract meaningful interpretations from visual data.
