Ahalya Ravendran
Hello! I am a doctoral student at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics, The University of Sydney, Australia. I explore robotic imaging – the way robots see our world and beyond via research. I currently work on topics related to computational imaging and feature-based reconstruction in visually challenging conditions.
