As an Associate Professor and a Researcher, I have been actively involved and has contributed in several national and international projects related to urban environment perception for Autonomous navigation applications and is currently doing research on collaborative mobile robotics and new methods for 3D urban scene characterization and mapping using non-conventional and innovative sensors. My research interests include robotics, autonomous vehicles, machine vision, localization and mapping, multisensorial data fusion, 3D LiDAR and camera-based perception. I am also a member of the technical committees of IEEE Autonomous Ground Vehicles & Intelligent Transportation Systems  and IEEE Computer & Robot Vision.
