Academic Achievements
- He is the main author of the Hopkins 155 dataset, a popular benchmark for multiview affine motion segmentation.
Research Experience
- He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Boston University. Before joining BU, he was a post-doctoral researcher in the GRASP Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania, supervised by Prof. Kostas Daniilidis and Prof. Vijay Kumar.
Education
- He obtained his PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University in 2012, working as a Research Assistant in the Vision Lab under the supervision of Prof. René Vidal.
Background
- His research interests lie at the intersection of automatic control, robotics, and computer vision. He is particularly interested in applications of Riemannian geometry and linear programming in problems involving distributed teams of agents or geometrical and spatio-temporal constraints. His current work spans a variety of challenges at different levels of multi-agent systems, from low-level perception (robust distributed data association in images) to single-agent control (enforcing safety with continuous-time using discrete-time control), to robust multi-agent estimation (outlier-robust localization and mapping), to high-level multi-agent planning under spatio-temporal constraints (temporal logic and security specifications). He is also interested in subspace clustering and its application to motion segmentation in videos.
