Tommaso Galliena

I'm a PhD student in the PhD of National Interest in Robotics and Intelligent Machines (phDRIM) at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, Italy. I work in the Pattern Analysis and Computer Vision lab and the Humanoid Sensing and Perception lab, supervised by Lorenzo Natale, Alessio Del Bue, and Pietro Morerio.

My research interests focus on 3D scene understanding and vision-language models (VLMs), with a special emphasis on self-supervised learning. Currently, I am working on using VLMs and VLA models for 3D spatial understanding and navigation.

Starting in September 2025, I will be a Visiting Research Student at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada, working in the 3D Language and Generation lab supervised by Prof. Angel Xuan Chang.

Pubblications

We propose a novel self-supervised learning framework for embodied image captioning, where an agent explores a 3D environment to generate spatially coherent image descriptions and collect challenging training data to fine-tune vision-language models.

By developing a semiautomatic CTA-based model to measure kidney vascular territories, we enable precise preoperative planning for aortic aneurysm repair in patients with horseshoe kidney, reducing risk of postoperative renal damage
