Timothy Chase Email & Phone Number

I am a doctoral student in the Distributed RObotics and Networked Embedded Sensing (DRONES) Lab at the University at Buffalo (UB), advised by Dr. Karthik Dantu (Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering), co-advised by Dr. John Crassidis in the Advanced Navigation and Control Systems (ANCS) Lab (Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering). I am a current Pathways Student at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in the Science Data Processing branch (code 587).My research interests include spacecraft perception and autonomy, optical navigation systems, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), embedded computing, and computer vision. My current research is focused on unsupervised, generative, and representation learning-based solutions for space-vision tasks such as visual terrain detection, scene reconstruction, and landmark recognition. In the past, I have also worked on dynamic feature reasoning, 3D feature location estimation, and sim-to-real domain adaptation.

Listed skills include C++, Java, Microsoft Office, Embedded Systems, and 36 others.
