Brief CV

I am an Associate Professor in Computer Science at Örebro University since August 2018. My primary research interests lie in autonomy for mobile robots, with a focus on perception algorithms and motion synthesis for manipulation. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from Örebro University, defended in 2012, on the topic of autonomous robot navigation.

I am also a WASP affiliated faculty. I serve as PI for one collaborative WASP project since June 2019.

Supervision and Teaching

I am currently co-supervising the following PhD students:

Quanato Yang, working on continuous reinforcement learning;
Yuxuan Yang, working on model learning and state estimation for deformable linear objects, such as cables and hoses;
Marco Iannottta, industrial PhD student working on generalizable skill acquisition through reinforcement learning;
David Caceres Dominguez, industrial PhD student working on interactive learning and learning from demonstrations for manipulation;
Shih-Min Yang, working on learning for perception and manipulation;

My former students at Örebro University:

Dinh-Cuong Hoang, defended his PhD thesis “Vision-based Perception For Autonomous Robotic Manipulation” in Decemeber 2021.
Daniel R. Canelhas, defended his PhD thesis “Truncated Signed Distance Fields Applied To Robotics” in April 2016. (second supervisor)
