Research interests & Teaching experience
Aside from upskilling and upgrading my educational credentials, I also focus on dissemination of my research findings through top-tier publications, primarily peer-reviewed scientific articles aside from occasionally giving invited talks at Workshops. I also have a passion to teach and mentor budding research scholars interested in mobile robotics.
