Mike Degany

- I am a Robotics Engineer specializing in autonomous systems, from perception to planning and control. My Ph.D. work focuses on building scalable 3D mapping and robust navigation solutions for autonomous vehicles.

- My research philosophy is built on one core principle: theoretical concepts must be proven with hands-on application. I've been fortunate to work in advanced labs where I moved my ideas from theory to reality; developing, testing, and deploying systems on actual robotic platforms. This practical experience is what I believe is necessary to push the boundaries of what's possible in robotics.

- I have hands-on experience deploying code on full-scale autonomous vehicles , developing novel sensor fusion algorithms that reduced odometry error by 72% , and architecting a multi-robot mapping system that won a Best Paper Award.

- Mechatronics engineer with wide knowledge about different fields such as Electronics, Robotics, Control engineering, Computer science, Mechanics, and System engineering graduated from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic) for MSc.

- A roboticist with a keen interest in Mobile Robots. Worked in the Mapping and Motion Planning area for mobile robots applications and introduced a novel approach for real-time motion planning in dynamic environments.

-Electronic Engineer with specialization in Embedded Real-Time Systems, highly experienced with computer coding for different types of microcontrollers in multiple languages including Assembly, C/C++, ... for both commercial and research projects.

- Highly experienced with programing both C++ and Python in ROS(1 & 2) (Robot Operating System) for various projects like SLAM, Human Detection, Navigation and so on.

- Innately a detail-oriented and multitask person which leads to the capability to fast-recognize and solve problems and effectively handle high-pressure and time-limited situations.

- Highly motivated and flexible to expand knowledge in new areas of expertise

- Strong written and verbal communication skills attained through writing a number of articles and technology reviews as a tech writer at GSM.ir and also work reports and giving oral presentations at university conferences and seminars.
