Akshay Morye

Akshay joined the Mobile Robotics Group in August 2014 .

Prior to joining the group, he completed a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of California-Riverside (UCR), where his thesis focused on autonomous  control of PTZ camera networks for scene understanding. In addition, Akshay has also completed a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (UCR), a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electronics Engineering (University of Mumbai, India), and a Diploma in Industrial Electronics (Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education, India).

His broad research interests include Mobile Robotics, Cooperative Control, Bayesian Optimisation, Game Theory and Computer Vision.

Intelligent Camera Networks – (University of California Riverside, USA)

The focus of the research herein was the development of distributed algorithms leveraging Bayesian optimisation to control a network of PTZ surveillance cameras for scene understanding.
