My work revolves around the Aerial robotics
Agile navigation and Visual Inertial odometry
I am currently a Doctoral Researcher and a MSCA fellow at the Computer Vision Group based at the University of Tampere, Finland.
I design and prototype Agile Aerial robots, Aerial manipulators, Onboard Visual inertial navigation systems, digital twins of above,
and learning based mathods.
I am an advocate of using robust agile robotics and edge computing to solve problems
in the transportation, energy, saftey and security sectors. Feel free to connect and chat
if something interesting comes your way!
