I'm a software engineer at Google, in Cambridge, MA. I work on networking infrastructure, and am involved in the QUIC project: developing a next generation transport protocol over UDP.
As part of the Google Developers Live series, I got the chance to talk about some of the work we have done, and where we hope to go next:
In 2012 I successfully defended my DPhil (PhD). I was a member of the Mobile Robotics Group at Oxford University, under the supervision of Prof. Paul Newman. My thesis focused on autonomous exploration, and developing novel approaches to solving this problem for robots capable of three dimensional movement. Most successfull is a method based on solving a partial differential equation across a voxelised representation of the robot's workspace: choosing suitable boundary conditions ensures complete exploration.
