Sergi Caelles

I am a PhD student at the Computer Vision Lab in Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH Zürich) under the supervision of Prof. Luc Van Gool and the guidance of Dr. Jordi Pont-Tuset. I received a Degree and M.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering from the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC).

I have interned at Bell Labs with Prof. Sebastian Randel and Facebook with Prof. Fernando de la Torre.
My main research interest is segmentation with special focus on video object segmentation by using deep learning.

Well2Go

Project carried out in collaboration with ESADE and IED students to improve public health by providing safe access to water. We developed a sensor network able to detect the state of the wells in developing countries, bringing real time information to a platform to ensure their maintenance. The project was the winner of the CBI Mediterranean 2015.
