Dr. Vadim Indelman is joining our Faculty as Assistant Professor. Vadim holds a B.Sc. degree (summa cum laude) in Aerospace Engineering (2002), and a B.A. degree (cum laude) in Computer Science (2002), both from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. He received his Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Technion in 2012. During the course of his Ph.D. studies, he was awarded the Merhav, Hanin, and Ilan Ramon prizes for his excellent achievements. For the past two years, Dr. Indelman has been with the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Machines (RIM) of the Georgia Institute of Technology, as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow.
Dr. Indelman’s research focuses on single- and multi-agent autonomous systems, in particular, autonomous operation in uncertain, partially unknown and dynamic environments. He explores advanced perception, information fusion, and planning to develop computationally efficient approaches for reliable and accurate autonomous operation. His research mainly focuses on autonomy in aerial unmanned vehicles, but it is also relevant to other aerospace problems, e.g., space robotic systems.
