“My research is focused on the development of novel sensors and processing techniques for sensor-fusion and mapping. I work closely with researchers in forestry, agriculture, marine, intertidal and environmental science and ecology to develop new techniques in 3D perception, machine learning and reconstruction, hyperspectral imaging and the deployment of aerial and marine robotic systems that enable novel avenues of scientific enquiry in the study of underwater and terrestrial habitats.”

“My recent research is focussed on deep learning techniques for autonomous perception in three-dimensional environments. I am working on new techniques for machine perception in 3D liDAR pointcloud data, with a particular focus in forest environments, and techniques for learning with limited real data sets using simulation and domain adaptation.”

“I like to see that emerging technologies, such as robotics, can have a positive impact on society and the environment. I’m excited by the prospect of ‘scaling-up’ our ability to study environments and ecosystems through the use of technologies in sensing and autonomous systems that are both state-of-the-art and cost-effective.”
