Guzzoni studied electrical engineering at the Geneva State Engineering School, followed by studies in computer science at EPFL, where obtained a master's degree in 1996. He then worked with Charles Baur on medical robotics application at EPFL's Virtual Reality and Active Interface group.[2] In 1997, he moved to Silicon Valley to join the SRI International's Artificial Intelligence Center to work with Luc Julia and Adam Cheyer at on artificial intelligence and robotics.[3][4][5] Then he was involved in multiple start-ups ranging from mobile robotics to AI-powered B2B platforms, where he collaborated among others with Rajiv Gupta and Shamik Sharma.
In 2004, he returned to EPFL to join Charles Baur's laboratory as a PhD student. His research aimed at facilitating the access on complex artificial intelligence techniques by software developers.[6]
After his graduation in 2007, together with Tom Gruber and Dag Kittlaus he cofounded and became chief scientist Siri Inc., a start-up company developing a mobile intelligent assistant. The company was acquired in 2010 by Apple Inc., and its technology has been incorporated with most Apple products since 2011. He is a senior software engineer with the Apple's Siri team.[7][8][9][10]
