I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Computer Science and Engineering Department, University of South Carolina, and an Adjunct Professor at the School of Computer Science, McGill University. 2004-2007 I was a visiting fellow at the Canadian Space Agency working on Planetary exploration and On-Orbit-Servicing of Satellites. During 2004 I
was at
McGill University as a Research Associate in the Centre for Intelligent Machines
with Professor Gregory
Dudek in the Mobile
Robotics Lab (MRL). Between 2002 and 2003, I was a Postdoctoral
Fellow at the Carnegie Mellon
University in the Sensor Based Planning Lab
with Professor Howie
Choset. I was granted my Ph.D. from the School of Computer Science, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec,
Canada in 2002 under the supervision of Professors Gregory Dudek and Evangelos Milios. Thesis title:
"Cooperative Localization and Multi-Robot Exploration". I finished my
M.Sc. in McGill University in the field of Computer Vision in 1995. I
was granted my B.Sc. in 1991 from the Department of Informatics,
University of Athens, Greece. My Research has focused on mobile
robotics and in particular in the area of cooperating intelligent
agents with application to multi-robot cooperative localization,
mapping, exploration and coverage. My interests extend to computer
vision and sensor networks.
