About

Ciao! I’m Pham Cong Thuong (a.k.a. Elio), welcome to my blog! I’m a robotics software engineer and machine learning lover based in Genova, Italy.

I mostly work on vision system on humanoid robot, especially on event-camera, rgb camera and lidar. My recent intellectual interest is in the three-pound thing making everything of the world - BRAIN (neuroscience). I have been fascinated by the BRAIN PBS shows and books of David Eagleman (Brain and Livewired). With the convergence of several technologies, powered by computational sciences, I think we are at the door of decoding the most mysterious thing in the world!
