2010 - Today:

• Associate Professor with Habilitation to Direct Research (HDR) at University Côte d'Azur
• Lecturer at Ecole Polytechnique de Nice Sophia Antipolis, France (Polytech'Nice) in the Electrical Engineering Department. Teaching in Automatic Control, Robotics, Autonomous Systems.
• Researcher at I3S Laboratory, CNRS, Univ. Côte d'Azur
• Guest scientist ETH Zurich

2008 - 2009: Post Doc at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control (IDSC), ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
Research in "Simulation, Control and Guidance of a Swarm of Quadricopters" for the Flying Machine Arena (FMA).

I contributed to the initial setup of the FMA. I designed the very first flight control and guidance systems for the quadrocopters. I also developed the first version of the simulator, which enabled the design and debug of various flight controllers, guidance algorithms, and multi-vehicle coordinated flights. Details here.
Supervision: Prof. Dr. Raffaello D'Andrea.
