I am currently a researcher at Lakeside Labs GmbH in Klagenfurt, Austria, where my work focuses on collaborative and networked multi-robot systems, which means I explore how autonomous robots can intelligently use wireless networks to work together more efficiently.

Doctoral research

I defended my Ph.D. in November 2025. It focused on the interplay between communication and control within Flying Ad-hoc Networks (FANETs). My thesis addressed the challenges of coordinating UAV fleets using flocking algorithms under imperfect network conditions. As part of this work, I developed DANCERS, a specialized robotic and network co-simulator. I also designed a novel flocking-based control scheme that leverages UAV mobility to autonomously deploy aerial relay chains, providing real-time connectivity in complex search-and-rescue and monitoring scenarios.

I led my Ph.D. under the supervision of Olivier Simonin (CITI Lab, INSA Lyon), Isabelle Guerin-Lassous (LIP, ENS Lyon) and Isabelle Fantoni (LS2N, CNRS).

The Ph.D. manuscript is openly accessible on HAL.
