About Me

I’m a Robotics Technical Lead at ALL3, where we develop advanced mobile robotics systems for the construction industry. I specialize in motion planning, trajectory optimization, and whole-body control for legged robots and manipulation systems.

Beyond my full-time role, I’m actively engaged in the robotics research community — organizing workshops at major conferences (IROS 2025, RSS 2024), serving on programme committees (ROSCon UK), giving invited talks at leading institutions (MIT, Georgia Tech, BIGAI). Previously, I also used to review for top-tier venues (ICRA, IROS, IEEE T-RO).

I completed my PhD at the University of Edinburgh in 2022, where I developed novel methods for robust trajectory optimization for legged robots, passing my defense with no corrections required.

Recent Highlights

Workshop Organizer at IROS 2025

I’m co-organizing “The Art of Robustness: Surviving Failures in Robotics” at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) in Hangzhou, China, October 2025. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss resilience and fault tolerance in robotic systems.

Invited Seminars at Georgia Tech and BIGAI (2025)

I was invited to give seminars on trajectory optimization at Georgia Institute of Technology (as part of the AI4OPT PhD Course on Optimal Control and Learning) and at the Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI), sharing research on direct transcription methods and whole-body robot dynamics.

Workshop Organizer at RSS 2024

Co-organized “Tactile Sensing for General Purpose Robot Learning” at the Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) conference in Delft, bringing together researchers working on tactile perception for robotic manipulation.

RoLoMa Published in Autonomous Robots (2023)

Our work on “RoLoMa: Robust Loco-Manipulation for Quadruped Robots with Arms” was published in the Autonomous Robots journal. This research presents a novel approach to generating robust trajectories for complex loco-manipulation tasks.

Talk at MIT - JuliaCon 2023

I gave an invited talk at JuliaCon 2023 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) about using Julia to optimize trajectories for legged robots. The talk covered practical applications of trajectory optimization for complex robotic systems.

PhD Completed (2022)

I successfully defended my PhD thesis at the University of Edinburgh on 28 June 2022, passing with no corrections required. My thesis, titled “Trajectory Optimisation for Legged Robots,” was supervised by Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar. The examination panel consisted of Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar (supervisor), Dr. Steve Tonneau (internal examiner), and Prof. Olivier Stasse (external examiner).
