Summary
I have a research background mainly in Bayesian state estimation applied to Robotics, Autonomous Driving cars, Aerospace and Transportation applications.
The originality of my work is on combining set-membership methods and Bayesian inference to obtain robust methods. Box particle filters is an example of Monte Carlo method resulting of this combination.
My research production is various and include: autonomous driving car, traffic flow estimation, sea border surveillance, intelligent transportation systems, unmanned autonomous systems (UAVs), multi target tracking algorithms and sensor networks.
