• 同步定位与地图构建、3D视觉感知、自主无人系统

2013.9月至今，上海交通大学任助理研究员、副教授

2010.6-2013.06 新加坡国立大学 博士后研究员

主要学术成果有面向多机器人群的协同视觉SLAM系统(CoSLAM)，结构化环境下的视觉SLAM（StructSLAM）、视觉惯性里程计(StructVIO)、结构先验自监督深度估计（StructDepth）、基于文本标识的语义SLAM(TextSLAM)等，研究成果详见：https://github.com/SJTU-ViSYS。

2014年在徐氏校友基金支持下发起上海交通大学小型无人机技术挑战赛，2017年推广为全国赛事：“智在飞翔”无人飞行器智能感知技术竞赛。竞赛的目的是将人工智能技术赋能无人机，实现复杂环境下的自主穿越。赛事信息见网站http://drone.sjtu.edu.cn ,“智在飞翔”微信公众号。
