I am a post-doctoral researcher at Mobile Robotics and Olfaction Lab (MR&O) at Örebro University. Before to joining the MR&O lab in June 2015, I completed my PhD at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, Australia, and worked as a post-doctoral research at the ARC Australian Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision at QUT. I have a Bachelors degree with Honours in Logic and Computation and a Masters degree in Computer Science from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

My research focuses on the problem of visual recognition by robots in changing conditions. Powerful visual localization techniques exist for environments that remain perceptually static, but performance often degrades when the appearance of the world changes. Furthermore, perceptual changes can be universal over a region – lighting, seasonal change, and weather changes occur across large spatial areas – which means place recognition failure everywhere within a domain is possible. I’m interested in increasing the robustness of visual place recognition for robots without sacrificing autonomy. A persistent robot localisation system must operate over a wide range of different environments and under different types of environmental change, and require minimal prior knowledge or training.
