I am an Assistant Professor at Louisiana State University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at University of Michigan and I obtained my PhD from Heriot-Watt University, United Kigdom and I have a double master degree in Computer Vision and Robotics from the University of Burgundy and Heriot-Watt University as part of the VIBOT (VIsion and RoBOTtics) European program.
The goal of my work is to propose solutions for real-world robotics applications with social and environmental merits. I am specifically interested in contributing to the widespread of mobile robotic systems acting in complex, unstructured and dynamic environments, having an active role in improving their autonomy, energy-efficiency and reliability.
