Robust 3D Mapping and Localization algorithms for self-driving vehicle and truck

Nov. 2020 – Jun. 2021 : I was a Research Engineer in SLAM team in Innopolis University, Russia. I have been working on Visual road signs tracking, 3D Segmentation and Object Detection and building full HD map with static objects for self-driving car localization. Also, my task includes creating of robust LiDAR odometry algorithm to build 3D Map and localization.

Jun. 2021 – Mar. 2021 : I was a Middle Software Developer (Localization and Mapping (SLAM) team) in Self-Driving Group at OZON Technology (Russia). I was responsible for the development of odometry/localization/3D mapping algorithms for autonomous truck. Also, I did a sensor calibrations (LiDAR - LiDAR extrinsics).

Panoramic room 3D Scene Understanding

Aug. 2020 – Nov. 2020 : I was a R&D remote Intern in SMART VIEWING company from London, UK. I was working on panoramic segmentation which combines semantics segmentation like tangent images with instance segmentation.

Viewpoint-invariant 3D place recognition for SLAM

Aug. 2019 – Jun. 2020: As a part of my graduate school, I was a R&D Intern in SLAM team (remote work from March) at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University under the supervision of Professor Howie Choset and Postdoc Peng Yin.
Research topics:
* SphereVLAD: Orientation-invariant 3D Place Recognition via Spherical Harmonics in 3D LIDAR-based SLAM algorithm * SeqSphereVLAD: Sequence Matching Enhanced Orientation-Invariant Place Recognition * Fast Sequence-matching Enhanced orientation-invariant 3D Place Recognition * PSE-Match: A Viewpoint-free Place Recognition Method with Parallel Semantic Embedding

Eurobot 2019 contest

Oct. 2018 – Jun. 2019: Eurobot is a robotics constest. An amazing event gathering fun, high technology, friendship, creativity, education and passion! Created in 1998, Eurobot is an international amateur robotics contest open to teams of young people, organized either in student projects or in independent clubs.

To participate in the competition the team needs to design and make two autonomous robots. The robots must complete specific tasks in a minute and 30 seconds and earn maximum points. At the same time the team must solve a number of specific tasks and to complete a full cycle of development and production of the robot. For further information visit: http://www.eurobot.org/

Solar water splitting device that produces hydrogen

Jul. 2018 – Sep. 2018: I was a Summer Intern Student under Ibbi Y. Ahmet supervision in the Institute for Solar Fuels at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) in Berlin, Germany.
Research topic:
Optimizing buried junction cubic π-SnS photocathodes for water splitting (using AA-CVD, Magnetron sputtering, XRD, PEC and SEM analysis)-the goal is to fabricate a solar water splitting device that produces hydrogen.

-Fabricated a series of 2% Zn doped π-SnS coated with different buffer layers consisting CdS, Zn(O,S), MoS$$_{2}$$, or Ag$_{5}$SnS$_{6}$ of which the former two were coated with a 50nm layer of TiO$_{2}$, since electrochemically unstable
-Investigated the photoelectrochemical properties a series of $\pi\normalsize$-SnS devices
-Presented a Posterto committee of HZB and wrote a scientific blog post as a result of work
