About Me
Driving Innovation in AI and Computer Vision
I am Clayton Kossoski, Ph.D., a researcher, educator, and technology innovator dedicated to advancing Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision. With a robust background in Computer Engineering, I specialize in developing cutting-edge solutions that bridge the gap between academia and industry.
My journey in technology spans over a decade, having earned my Ph.D. in Electrical and Industrial Informatics Engineering from the Federal University of Technology – Paraná (UTFPR), focusing on real-time video query processing, big data, and machine learning applications. My research, "NOP Query - A New Notification-Based Method for Processing Video Queries on the Fly," explores innovative paradigms that push the boundaries of data-driven decision-making.
As a professor, I am committed to fostering the next generation of technology professionals through my teaching roles at UTFPR and SENAC Ponta Grossa. I have mentored students in topics such as Software Engineering, Data Science, and Internet of Things (IoT), always emphasizing practical applications and industry relevance.
Beyond academia, I actively contribute to the field through publications, lectures, and collaborations with industry partners. I have authored research on topics including Big Data analytics, Notification-Oriented Paradigms, and AI-driven applications, aiming to make a meaningful impact in the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
