Hi! I'm Emanuel, an MSc in Robotics graduate from Carnegie Mellon University. As a research assistant, I worked on Safe Multi-Agent Navigation under the supervision of Prof. Katia Sycara on a funded project for the navigation of robotic systems in smoke-dense environments.
My current interests lie in semi/self-supervised learning, world models, and safe (embodied) AI. I am broadly interested in perception and safe AI/robotics for real-world applications.
I have worked on a wide range of research projects related to surgical robotics, safe adaptation for autonomous vehicles, and reinforcement learning for mobile robots. I also gained industrial experience in computer vision, hardware integration, and 3D perception at Noteworthy AI, where I contributed to multiple product stages for infrastructure inspection using fleet vehicles.
Currently looking for full-time AI/robotics/CV positions.
Outside of research - Novice table tennis player and specialty coffee lover.
