Summary
André Farinha is a postdoctoral researcher at the Aerial Robotics Laboratory at Imperial College London and the Laboratory for Sustainability Robotics at Empa, Switzerland. His research focuses on the modelling and system development of bio-inspired soft aerial-aquatic robots for environmental monitoring missions. He obtained his PhD in Aeronautics from Imperial College London UK in 2022, where he worked on remote sensing with MAVs in multi-terrain environments. He was previously at Técnico Lisbon for his BSc and MSc (leavers 2016) and at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics for a Research Master in 2018. He has also conducted research at UT Austin and Tokyo Institute of Technology as a visiting researcher.
