🎓 Teaching

Course: Planning and Decision-Making for Autonomous Robots
Role: Teaching Assistant, 2025–2026

Lectured tutorial sessions for a class of ~200 M.Sc. and Ph.D. students.

Course Description:
Planning safe and efficient motions for robots in complex environments, often shared with humans and other robots, is a challenging problem that combines discrete and continuous mathematics, as well as probabilistic, game-theoretic, and learning aspects.

This course covers the algorithmic foundations of motion planning, with an eye toward real-world implementation issues.
