Postdoctoral Researcher

University of the Balearic Islands

Welcome!

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of the Balearic Islands. My current research interests include mobile robotics, visual mapping, localization, SLAM, visual place recognition, machine learning and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s). My work has been published in international journals and conferences mainly in the fields of robotics and computer vision. At the UIB, I also teach some undergraduate and master courses.
