Research ThemesMy current interest is the navigation of pedestrians in indoor environments with no location infrastructure. Indoor search and rescue is a typical application scenario: building layout is initially unknown, floorplans may not be available, existing communications infrastructure may be damaged, GPS is unavailable indoors. Dead-reckoning based on inertial sensors is an attractive option but not a complete solution due to inherent drift in the estimated positions. Most existing research focuses on correcting position estimates with prior information such as digitised floorplans or infrastructure based information such as GPS limiting the scope of these solutions.

ProfileIn 2006 I received an engineering degree ('diplôme d'ingénieur') from Supélec, France, and a Masters degree in computer systems and network architecture from the university of Rennes also in France. The latter part of my engineering course was also in the field of computer systems and networks but prior to that included mechanical engineering and electronics.
