Riku Murai
I'm a PostDoc at Imperial College London, working on distributed many-device optimisation, low-power
unconventional sensing, and 3D scene representation for SLAM.
Before that, I was a PhD student jointly supervised by Prof. Paul H. J. Kelly and Prof. Andrew J. Davison, and during my PhD, I was a research scientist intern at Meta, Embodied AI team within FAIR.
