GUSTAVO PÉREZ

About me

I am a Ph.D. student and a graduate research assistant in the College of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst under the supervision of Subhransu Maji in the Computer Vision Lab. Previously, I spent three years as a graduate research assistant under the supervision of Pablo Arbeláez in the Biomedical Computer Vision Group at the Universidad de Los Andes, where I got my Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering. I got my Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering from Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Colombia.

My research interests include the design of data-efficient solutions using AI and human-in-the-loop in novel domains to reduce the cost of deriving scientific conclusions. In particular, I have experience working with medical imaging, remote sensing, biology, chemistry, and astronomy domains.
