Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Michael Lombardo. Michael acted as a teaching assistant for my Computer Architecture course, which is where I first met him. We had some interesting conversations throughout the semester. He will be teaching my Data Structures course next semester, as a sessional lecturer. Michael received his Bachelors of Science in Computer Science, with a Data Science specialization, from Ontario Tech University in 2019, and has continued to receive his Masters of Science in Computer Science, also at Ontario Tech. He has specialized on the applications of computer vision in various fields, including bioinformatics. Michael has been in research since 2017. Since 2018, he has been working under the supervision of Dr. Faisal Qureshi to develop video summarization tools using PyTorch and to conduct research on biological diagram comprehension. Michael has been granted a plethora of honours throughout his research career, including three Ontario Tech University Undergraduate Student Research Fellowships, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Undergraduate Student Research Award, and the Ontario Graduate Scholarship, to name a few. I am thrilled to speak with Michael, to learn more about the fascinating field of computer vision. I hope you find this conversation as thought-provoking as I did. All of Michael's research can be found on his personal website.
