Researcher in Robotics

Delft University of Technology

I am a researcher with a focus on planning, estimation, and control of aerial robotic systems. My work has been recognized with the prestigious Best Paper Award of IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters. My research on aerial robot fault-tolerant control and perception has been featured in well-regarded media outlets like IEEE Spectrum. I’m the winner of the Veni grant as part of the Dutch Research Council (NWO) talent program.

I’m currently a researcher at the deparment of Cognitive Robotics (CoR) of Delft University of Technology. From 2022 to 2023, I have been a postdoctoral researcher at the Robotics and Mechatronics (RaM) group at the University of Twente, collaborating with Prof. Antonio Franchi. Prior to this, from 2020 to 2021, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Robotics and Perception Group (RPG) at the University of Zurich under the guidance of Prof. Davide Scaramuzza.

In December 2020, I earned my PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the Control and Simulation Group (C&S) at Delft University of Technology, supervised by Dr. Coen de Visser and Prof. Guido de Croon. My doctoral thesis has addressed the fault-tolerant control problem of aerial robots subject to significant dynamical uncertainties.
