Having graduated with a Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science, University of Minnesota, I am now working as a navigation engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

While at the University of Minnesota, I was a member of the Multiple Autonomous Robotic Systems (MARS) lab, under supervision of Stergios Roumeliotis. My thesis research has focused on two challenging aspects of cooperative localization of mobile robots, in particular initialization (i.e., relative pose estimation), and localization under severe communication constraints. More details can be found in my thesis.

Currently, I am working on novel navigation techniques for interplanetary spacecraft.
