Cooperation and collaboration

I genuinely enjoy working with people who are curious, pragmatic, ambitious, and independent — those who aren’t afraid to ask questions, explore bold ideas, and build meaningful solutions, especially in demanding domains like space systems.

If you share this mindset, see challenges as opportunities, and are interested in collaborating, feel free to reach out — regardless of your background. You’re also welcome to book a time via my Bookings page for a conversation.

If there’s no open thesis topic that perfectly matches your idea at the moment, but you’re passionate about any of the following areas:

Embodied and Physical AI, with a focus on autonomous systems for space exploration and operation in extreme environments
Collaborative AI for Multi-Agent Systems, including coordinated swarms of robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, rovers, and satellites working together in dynamic, distributed missions
Human–Machine Interaction
Edge AI Computing
Cyber-Physical Systems
Federated Data Spaces

I encourage you to get in touch or check back for updated opportunities.
