Make drones more efficient in challenging environments

My research focuses on the safe navigation of UAVs in constrained environments. I recently joined the LEASARD CominLabs project, in which I will investigate SLAM and navigation algorithms with event-based cameras to improve drone autonomy in cluttered environments.

My Ph.D. thesis work, led at ICube Strasbourg and GIPSA-lab Grenoble, has been dedicated to the event-driven navigation of a drone in dark environments, as a part of the dark-NAV ANR project. This thesis has been supervised by Nicolas Marchand and Sylvain Durand.

Through my research work, I developed research interests in aerial robotics, robust control and set theory. As a graduate of an engineering school (INSA Strasbourg), I have developed a taste for control theory, which I try to deploy as much as possible on real control systems.
