I
I specialize in inertial systems and my main goal is to be able to provide structure-free, self-contained, portable, unrestricted, miniature, and accurate kinematic motion tracking (6DOF).
Regardless of the level of miniaturization and accuracy that can be achieved, this technology does not do much on its own, and only becomes meaningful thanks to the collaboration with experts working in various disciplines. Below is an incomplete list:
Current Collaborations
- Prof. Mark Moldwin, Climate and Space Sciences and Engineerin (UofM)
- Dr. Neil Alexander, Mobility Research Centerr, (UofM)

- Dr. Johann Borenstein, Mobile Robotics Laboratory, (UofM): I started my academic and research career at the University of Michigan working under Johann’s supervision (13 years). This period was decisive in my work life as I had the opportunity to learn and gain experience in the fields of sensors (inertial), data fusion, and robotics.
