Electrical Engineer Robotics & AI Researcher
MSc Robotics & AI, ITMO University, working across LiDAR-camera perception, autonomous navigation, Bayesian state estimation, and model-based control. I am applying for PhD positions in perception, 3D reconstruction, and autonomous navigation.
01 / Projects
Projects spanning perception, navigation, 3D vision, LLM systems, and renewable energy. Scroll sideways to see all projects.
A training-free pipeline combining YOLOv8m-seg, calibrated LiDAR projection, adaptive mask erosion, DBSCAN clustering, and PCA-based 3D bounding boxes for KITTI scenes. Thesis code release in preparation.
A hybrid framework for UGV navigation in MuJoCo, integrating A* global planning, Dynamic Window Approach local avoidance, and MPC control.
Comparative research on hard geometric constraints, soft depth loss, and hybrid depth integration for more stable 3D scene reconstruction.
A Simulink/MATLAB study of Constant Power Load instability using a single-phase hybrid inverter, PLL, MPPT, and precise circuit modelling.
Four working LLM systems in Python with LangChain: validated structured extraction, RAG question-answering over PDFs with FAISS, a tool-using agent with safety-shaped tools, and a Streamlit chat app that combines the RAG and agent systems, all behind a multi-provider fallback chain.
Research signal
A measured result from the real-time 3D perception thesis, alongside 38.63% pedestrian IoU, approximately 11 FPS, and 1,874 MiB GPU memory.
