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 RA-L. 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.
