Rodrigue de Schaetzen
Welcome to my personal website 👋 !
I am a second-year Master's student in the Autonomous Systems Lab at the University of Waterloo, advised by Prof. Stephen L. Smith. I graduated in 2021 from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Science in Combined Honours in Computer Science and Physics. 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 🚀!
I am actively seeking a Ph.D. position in a research lab, with a planned start date of September 2024.
Find me on my networks!
