Jean-Luc Bastarache

Alumni (MASc 2022)

I am a Master's student in the Autonomous Systems Lab. During my undergraduate degree at l'Université de Moncton I was a member of a robotics club where I became passionate for autonomous systems. My current research focuses on developing a safety framework for autonomous mobile robots in a warehouse setting.

Tristan Walker

Alumni (MASc 2021)

Tristan Walker completed his master’s degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, supervised by Professor Stephen Smith. Tristan completed his undergraduate degree in Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Tristan's research focused on dead reckoning for players in online games. He also worked on active sensing for repeated robot tasks.

Florence Tsang

Alumni (MASc 2020)

Florence Tsang completed her Master's degree in the Autonomous Systems Lab in January 2020. Her research focuses on improving navigation efficiency in uncertain environments. She completed her undergraduate degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Calgary. When she is not working with robots, she enjoys learning other languages and trying new recipes.
