I received a Diploma in Applied Physics and an MSc degree in Mechatronics in 2001 and 2003, respectively, from the University of Weingarten, Germany, and a PhD in Robotics from the University of Sydney, Australia, in 2008. I am currently employed as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Sydney.
The objective of my research is to combine complementary capabilities of humans and robots to execute tasks cooperatively, following the ideal of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts". I believe that effective human-robot cooperation will enhance the capabilities of today's robotic systems, while also increasing their robustness and reliability. My general approach is to use mathematical tools to model human-robot interactions rather than applying ad-hoc methods.
I am particulary interested in: human-robot communication, information fusion, situational awareness, hierarchical probabilistic models, distributed probabilistic inference, system architecture design, and development of reusable robotics software.
Here's a full list of my publications as of July 2008: [pdf]

I contribute to (and help maintain) two robotics open-source projects:
