Biography
Dan joined the Oxford Robotics Institute as a DPhil student in 2015 after completing his undergraduate studies in Engineering Science at Keble College. Dan’s Masters research project was also with ORI working on online traffic light detection.
His research focused on robot perception and planning for autonomous vehicles including: object detection in continuous 3D data, path planning in complex urban environments and GPU based dense disparity estimation.
