About

Hi! My name is Antonio.

I am a Principal Data Scientist at Allstate Insurance. I develop machine learning models for property insights and auto risk modeling in the context of vehicles with automated driving systems (ADS) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Previously, I was a project lead and advanced machine learning researcher at Corporate Strategic Research, ExxonMobil Research and Engineering, now ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering Company, in Annandale, New Jersey. To get a glimpse of some of my past work, please take a look at my publications page.

In my industry work, I have led several machine learning projects and developed many custom machine learning methods for business needs (see full bio). These include volumetric image analysis, fault detection in chemical processes, safety data analytics, microbial growth modeling, bioinformatics, uncertainty quantification in geophysical inverse problems, and gathering insights from aerial imagery. And, in my academic work before that, I developed algorithms for cell detection, identification, and reconstruction from electron microscope image volumes during my post-doc at the University of Utah.

Prior to all that, I worked on kernel methods for neural spike train data and information-theoretic learning algorithms during my M.S. and Ph.D. at the University of Florida.
