Background
Second-year PhD student at the Robotics Systems Lab, Vienna University of Technology, supervised by Prof. Christian Ott.
Focuses on developing passivity-based controllers for suspended underactuated aerial robots.
Aims to utilize underactuated aerial systems for task-prioritization tasks such as physical aerial interaction with unknown environments.
Interested in applying data-driven techniques to augment model-based whole-body controllers (WBC).
Previously worked as a research engineer with Prof. Antonio Franchi on aerial manipulation.
