[[Category:alumni]] __NOTOC__ {{ShowPerson}} {{InsertSubjAreas}} {{InsertProjects}} {{InsertTeacher}} <P align="justify"> I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at ISLAB/CAISR from Halmstad University, Sweden. Previously,&nbsp; I was a postdoctoral researcher at the [http://aass.oru.se/Research/mro/index.html MR&amp;O Lab] from Örebro University, Sweden. In April 2013 I completed my PhD thesis in robotics at [http://www.iri.upc.edu/ IRI] (Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial) from the Technical University of Catalonia ([http://www.upc.edu/?set_language=en UPC]), at Barcelona, Spain.&nbsp; My research has focused on different aspects of autonomous mobile robot navigation, from perception (SLAM, Mapping, Localization) to action selection problems (path planning, exploration, planning under uncertainty).
