I currently work as a Researcher on Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping for a small lunar rover. In the past I had professional experiences in Visual Effects Compositing for films, Virtual Reality and Computer Vision for UAV\u2019s. While those branches seem very different, there is a lot of overlap when it comes to dealing with cameras and images, whether it\u2019s in a manual or automated way.
