Biography
I am a Senior Staff Research Scientist on the Atlas project at Boston Dynamics, where I take state-of-the-art perception algorithms and use them to enable new robot behaviors. In particular, my work is focused on combining semantic and geometric information so robots can understand and perform tasks in their environments. I am involved in the entire Atlas perception stack, from calibration and camera drivers to developing and maintaining cutting-edge machine learning models.
Previously, I was a research fellow in the Dyson Robotics Lab with Prof. Andrew Davison at Imperial College London. During my PhD, I worked under the supervision of Dr. Stefan Leutenegger on making real-time dense visual SLAM more robust through the fusion of inertial data and learned depth priors. I completed a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Toronto.
