Claudio Coppola

PhD in Robotics

Claudio currently works as an Applied Scientist at Amazon, supporting the Transportation Services department in making their product more efficient through machine learning models.

I was really interested in the PhD project I started at Lincoln, and built most of my technical knowledge while at University. I have published my work in several journals and have presented at international conferences and am now enjoying solving problems and working on exciting projects in my current role. I would encourage everyone to develop their passions. It pays off in the end.
