	Tenure researcher with a strong interest in software and control of robots and embedded systems.
	Currently working on motion planning and control solutions for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
	What excites me most about this field are the challenging and multidisciplinary problems that require me
	to use my background in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science and Control Systems to develop integrated solutions.
	Here you can find out more about me, my research activities, publications, and open-source projects.
	If you are interested in knowing more, drop me a line.
