Adrián González Sieira

Hello! I am Adrián, welcome to my personal website. I am an Artificial Intelligence researcher, currently working on object detection and image classification using computer vision and deep learning techniques.

About me

I am an Artificial Intelligence researcher at the Research Centre in Intelligent Technologies (CiTIUS), currently working on object detection and image classification using computer vision and deep learning techniques.

I received my PhD in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2020. My research was centered in safe motion planning and autonomous navigation for mobile robots and UAVs. I have also been with the Human Machine Interaction (HMI) group at the University of Twente, working on socially aware motion planning.
