Profile

Assistant professor with the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering in Carleton University. I am

developing advanced sensor fusion methods on real-time embedded systems for wide range of positioning

and navigation applications. Sensor fusion is commonly tackled using advanced signal processing, estimation,

machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The challenge becomes more complex when sensor fusion

methods are to be implemented on limited resources embedded computing platforms or microcontrollers. I

have 4 granted patents and 60+ international publications and two book chapters in sensor fusion-based

positioning using wireless networks, inertial sensors, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Ultra-

wideband (UWB) Ranging, LiDAR, and Vision sensors. The simultaneous processing of heterogeneous high-rate

streams of noisy sensor measurements on limited resources embedded computing systems under hard real-

time constraints is the core of my research.
