Valerio CarrubaProf. Valerio Carruba is currently an Associate Professor at the São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil. He is one of the founders of the Machine Learning applied to Small Bodies (MASB) research group. He has published more than 70 paper, 12 of which are on applications of machine learning to dynamics of small bodies. His recent interests involve the use of deep learning for the identification of asteroids in secular resonant configurations and machine learning applied for asteroid families identification. Asteroid 10741 has been named Valeriocarruba by the International Astronomical Union. His recent paper Optimization of artificial neural networks models applied to the identification of images of asteroids' resonant arguments recently won the CELMEC prize for "Innovative computational methods in Dynamical Astronomy".
