Dario Cioni

I am a PhD Researcher at Queen Mary University of London, supervised by Prof. Ioannis Patras and in collaboration with Tavus. My research focuses on deep generative models and multimodal learning for affective computing.

Previously, I was a Senior AI Developer at the PwC Italy AI Center of Excellence, where I led the development of production-scale multimodal video generation systems and worked on multimodal perception and Agentic AI systems and protocols. I hold an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Florence (2024) and have published at venues including ICCV and ECCV, earning a Best Workshop Paper Award at ECCV 2024.
