About me
I am a Full Professor in Autonomous Systems and Automatic Control in School of Engineering, Newcastle University, UK. I was a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Machine Learning at the Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester, where I led teaching in UKRI AI CDT on Decision Making for Complex Systems and admission in BSc Computer Science. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor in Robot Dynamics at the Department of Cognitive Robotics and co-director of Delft SELF AI Lab, TU Delft, Netherlands and a Project Leader at DJI, China. I am a Senior Editor of IEEE RA-L (outstanding AE award), ACM TOPML, an Associate Editor or Area Chair of IEEE T-RO, IEEE T-RL, IEEE T-ASE, NeurIPS, ICRA, IROS, RSS, CoRL, L4DC. I am an ELLIS Scholar, Fellow of HEA. I received my PhD on System Identification from Imperial College London.
I have a broad interest in (any & multi) robot control using Bayesian machine learning and the principles of dynamic control.
