Adriano Fragomeni
I am a Founding AI Research Scientist at NexusAM, where I research and develop AI methods for additive manufacturing, bridging cutting-edge research with real-world industrial applications. Before joining NexusAM, I completed my PhD in Computer Vision at the University of Bristol under the supervision of Professor Dima Damen and Dr. Michael Wray, and was a Research Scientist Intern at Meta AI. My research interests include Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Graph Neural Networks, Vision-Language Models, and Multimodal AI. I am particularly interested in developing new learning methods and translating research ideas into practical AI systems, from video understanding to industrial AI. Outside research, I enjoy travelling, electronic music, and boxing.

Interests


Outside research and engineering, I enjoy discovering music and travelling. This space connects the sounds, artists and places that have shaped those experiences.

Music

Artists and places that shape my sound

My musical journey started with rock and metal before evolving towards the hypnotic, groovy, tribal and darker sides of techno. I enjoy discovering new artists, venues and sounds.

01

Favourite artist network

Choose an artist to explore their sound and why they stand out to me.

02

Techno map

Techno clubs and venues I have visited around the world.

Travelling

Travelling is one of my favourite ways to keep learning. I enjoy discovering different cultures, food, architecture and ways of life—not simply collecting countries, but collecting experiences and new perspectives.
