I am a Research Scientist at SINTEF Ocean's Aquaculture Robotics & Automation Group. Previously, I served as a Postdoctoral Fellow with Dr. Eleni Kelasidi and Prof. Kostas Alexis. I earned my Ph.D. from UofSC in 2022, advised by Prof. Ioannis Rekleitis and Prof. Jason O'Kane. In 2020, I was a Research Fellow at CMRE of NATO-STO.
My work centers on ensuring robust autonomy of complex systems executing complex tasks in challenging environments, with a strong focus towards the underwater domain.
