Biography
I am a Ph.D. student in Robotics and Computer Vision at the University of Zurich with the Robotics and Perception Group under the supervision of Prof. Davide Scaramuzza. My research focuses on robust perception and state estimation for autonomous robots. In particular, I am interested in achieving robust state estimation in challenging conditions for vision-based estimators such as the ones seen onboard agile quadrotors (e.g., motion blur, and featureless environments).
