Working on intelligent vehicle perception and learning

I am an Associate Professor at the Intelligent Vehicles group, part of the Cognitive Robotics department of the Mechanical Engineering faculty, TU Delft, The Netherlands. You can find my staff page on the TU Delft website. I work on multi-modal environment perception for intelligent vehicles, and mostly target crowded urban settings.
