Rodrigue de Schaetzen
Welcome to my personal website 👋 !
I am a first-year PhD student in the Robotics and Embodied AI Lab at the Université de Montréal and Mila, advised by Prof. Liam Paull. I was previously a Masters student in the Autonomous Systems Lab at the University of Waterloo, advised by Prof. Stephen L. Smith. I earned my Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2024. Prior to that, I graduated in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science, Combined Honours in Computer Science and Physics, from the University of British Columbia. During my time at UBC, I had the pleasure of working with Prof. Ian M. Mitchell on model predictive control.
My general research interests lie in robotics and AI with a particular interest in planning and control for mobile robots which have many exciting applications including autonomous ships (viz. my MASc thesis topic), search and rescue, and space exploration 🚀!
