Research Interest

I am interested in research and development of algorithms to combine physical and statistical models with image / sensor data. This integrates knowledge from different disciplines, including: Applied mathematics (modeling and solving dynamical systems, numerical optimization, numerical algorithms for differential equations, statistical methods, variational and optimal control methods) Computer science (computer vision, sensor fusion, machine learning) Physics (conservation laws, multibody systems, kinematics, dynamics)
