Short Bio

I am a senior research staff at IVC, TU Graz, working in the RCV team. Prior to this, I was a post-doc researcher hosted by RPL, KTH, Sweden. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Robotic Vision, from the Australian National University (ANU). My research interests includes robot perception, visual SLAM and 3D vision, using standard/event cameras for UAVs/UGVs, multi-beam/side-scan sonars for AUVs/ROVs, etc. More links: Résumé, Workpage.
