About me

I am an industrial Ph.D. student at Ericsson Research under supervision of Patric JensfeltJosé Araújo and André Mateus, at the Division of Robotics, Perception and Learning (RPL) at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). I am funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP).

My research interests span Robotics, Computer Vision and AI, with a special focus on Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM). I'm most interested in understanding how map representations shape the properties of SLAM. Currently, I'm working on camera pose estimation in radiance fields, such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) and 3D Gaussian Splatting.

I was part of a project on Autonomous Exploration with Ludvig Ericson, where we explored some long-standing questions regarding autonomous exploration planning. The resulting work,"Information Gain is Not All You Need", was presented recently at ECMR 2025 in Padua.

If you're a Master's student and you're interested in doing a thesis project with me, reach out!
