Biography

Ennio Mingolla is a professor in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern University, with a courtesy appointment in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences and a teaching role in the College of Science.

Mingolla heads Northeastern's Computational Vision Laboratory, which conducts psychophysical and computational modeling studies of visual perception. He focuses on the segmentation, grouping, and contour formation processes of early and middle vision in primates, and works to transition these models to technological applications. His current research focus includes an analysis of human eye movement in goal-directed behavior.

Outside of Northeastern, Mingolla is an adjunct professor of psychology at Boston University.
