Teofilo de Campos has completed his doctorate (DPhil) at the University of Oxford in 2006, on 3D real-time hand tracking. In 2001 he completed his award winning masters on Face Recognition, at the University of Sao Paulo. He graduated in Computer Science in 1998 from the Universidade Estadual Paulista. He has worked in the research laboratories of Sharp (2005-2007), Microsoft (2007) and Xerox (2008-2009). In 2009 he joined the University of Surrey as a Senior Research Fellow, where he worked in a range of projects until 2016. He also worked as a part-time researcher in the Machine Learning laboratory at the University of Sheffield (2013-2014). Currently, he is a Professor Adjunto at the University of Brasilia (UnB). He has played a key role in the organisation of a number of international events, including the BMVC 2012. He was Surrey's PI for the PASCAL2, an European Union Network of Excellence which involved 1072 researchers (2009-2012). He has worked with the following leading researchers in computer vision and machine learning: Neil Lawrence, Josef Kittler, Krystian Mikolajczyk, Adrian Hilton, Florent Perronnin, Gabriela Csurka, Manik Varma, Graham Jones, David Murray, Roberto Cesar-Jr and Isabelle Bloch, among others. His research interests include a wide range of computer vision applications, and his current focus include CNNs for semantic image segmentation, multi-task learning, transfer learning and anomaly detection. Since 2019, he has been working on projects related to information extraction from text in natural language (project Victor, with Bazil's supreme court and project KnEDLe, with FAPDF). He was area chair for WACV 2016 and VISAPP 2012 and he regularly reviews papers for ICCV, ECCV, CVPR, BMVC, AAAI, NeurIPS, PAMI, PR, TIP, among other top vision/ML conferences and journals.
