My research lies at the intersection of two fields, robotics and computer vision. In my research, I am focused on delivering foundation methodologies and algorithms to enable robotic systems to build real-time detailed 3D representation of the environment, a problem known as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). This problem is of key importance in enabling robotic systems to progress from the structured setups such as labs and factories to operating in real world environment. My research approach draws from recent advances in fundamental fields such as stochastic systems, information theory, high performance computing, machine learning and linear and nonlinear algebra and develops principled techniques and algorithms further integrated into robotic SLAM systems.
