Published Books
Aside from academic publications in the form of conferences and journals, I also write technical and non-technical books. These books are a culmination of my research and several decades of international experience, written to help you navigate the complexities of robotics and academia.
Multi-robot Exploration for Environmental Monitoring: The Resource Constrained Perspective
This book is a comprehensive guide for researchers and students working with multi-robot systems. It dives deep into the practical challenges of environmental monitoring, with a specific focus on navigating resource constraints like limited battery life and communication.
Drawing from my own PhD research, the book provides a solid foundation in the necessary robotics and mathematical tools to design and implement efficient, autonomous multi-robot architectures that can operate effectively in real-world scenarios.
The PhD Scholar's Compass: From burnout to breakthrough
Are you a PhD student feeling lost, overwhelmed, and on the brink of burnout?
You started your journey with a passion for knowledge, but the reality of academic life—the endless reading, the unexpected detours, and the pressure to publish—can feel like navigating a maze without a map. If you've ever felt trapped by PhD student burnout or haunted by imposter syndrome academia, you are not alone.
The PhD Scholar's Compass is the definitive guide for early career researchers who are tired of just surviving and ready to thrive. This isn't just another textbook; it's a practical, empathetic self-help guide forged from years of experience in the academic trenches.
