Researcher

Laboratory for Robotics and Intelligent Control Systems (LARICS)

I am a researcher at the Laboratory for Robotics and Intelligent Control Systems (LARICS), FER, at the University of Zagreb, focusing on multi-robot systems for search and rescue missions. Last summer, I graduated with a Master's in Intelligent Field Robotic Systems (IFRoS) from the Erasmus Mundus program.

I hold an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering, with a focus on robotics and computer vision, from Habib University in 2022.
