Experience & Qualifications
I am currently working as a PhD researcher and I have gained significant experience in Control Systems and Robotics over the past few years. During my research I was involved in several large-scale projects i.e. formation control of unmanned marine vehicles, multibody modelling, identification and time-optimal control of ground vehicles and passenger cars. I have also been a teaching assistant for Control Systems theory and Artificial Intelligence for undergraduates and graduates and have given several lectures in these subjects over the past years.
