He received the B.Sc. degree in computer engineering from McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada, in 2004 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, NB, Canada, in 2013, where he studied marine robotics. He was previously a Research Scientist and postdoctoral associate in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he led the Toyota Research Institute Funded “Parallel Autonomy” self-driving car project. His research interests include inference on resource-constrained and safety-critical robotic systems as well as bridging deep learning methods to develop novel representations for increased mobile robot autonomy.
