Researcher —
Chiara Plizzari is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Smart Eyewear Lab, a joint research center between EssilorLuxottica and Politecnico di Milano, in the group of Prof. Matteo Matteucci. Her work focuses on advancing video understanding through the integration of multiple modalities such as language, audio, and 3D data.
Prior to this role, Chiara was a Student Researcher at Google Research in Zurich, where she contributed to projects within Federico Tombari’s team. She earned her Ph.D. from the VANDAL (Visual AND Multimodal Applied Learning) lab at Politecnico di Torino, under the supervision of Prof. Barbara Caputo. During her doctoral studies, she was also selected for the prestigious ELLIS PhD program, and was co-supervised by Prof. Dima Damen at the University of Bristol.
Chiara’s research lies at the intersection of computer vision and multimodal learning, with a particular interest in how visual data can be enriched through complementary signals to enable deeper scene understanding and human-centric AI applications.
