Daniel was a PhD student in the Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics department working under the supervision of Vijay Kumar. His research is in multi-robot exploration and mapping with an emphasis on information theoretic approaches and building high detail 3D maps of the environment. Before joining the University of Pennsylvania, Daniel completed B.S. and M.S. degrees in mechanical engineering at Drexel University.
Daniel is interested in solving practical, fundamental challenges at the intersection of robotics and wireless systems using search-based planning, optimization and machine learning.
