Profile

Luca Carlone is the Charles Stark Draper Assistant Professor in the MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and a Principal Investigator in the MIT Laboratory for Information & Decision Systems (LIDS). Prof. Carlone received his PhD from the Polytechnic University of Turin in 2012. He joined LIDS as a postdoctoral associate (2015) and later as a Research Scientist (2016), after spending two years as a postdoctoral fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology (2013-2015). His research interests include nonlinear estimation, numerical and distributed optimization, and probabilistic inference, applied to sensing, perception, and decision-making in single and multi robot systems. His work includes seminal results on certifiably-correct algorithms for localization and mapping, as well as practical approaches for visual-inertial navigation and distributed mapping. Prof. Carlone published more than 60 papers on international journals and conferences, including a best paper award finalist at RSS 2015 and a best paper award winner at WAFR 2016.
