Hi there!
I am a PhD student at the Robotics and Perception Group directed by Prof. Davide Scaramuzza. My research interests lie at the intersection of control, machine learning, and computer vision for robotic applications.
I received my masters degree in Robotics, Systems and Control from ETH Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Raffaello D’Andrea.
