I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Dynamic Robot System Group (DRS) of the Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI) at the University of Oxford,
supervised by Prof. Maurice Fallon. My work focuses on real-time multi-modal perception for unmanned ground and aerial vehicles (UGVs/UAVs) in inspection and search & rescue (SAR) scenarios.

On the 7th Nov 2025, I defended my doctoral dissertation on:
“Efficient Real-Time Calibration and Odometry for Dense Multi-Modal Mapping with UAVs”. Previously, I was with the Autonomous Intelligent Systems Group, at the University of Bonn, supervised by Prof. Sven Behnke.

I work on perception tasks and computer vision topics with LiDARs, IMUs, color and thermal cameras. I’m interested in multi-modal data fusion, optimization and machine learning for scene reconstruction.
