Short CV

Luca Lobefaro is a Ph.D. student in Photogrammetry and Robotics at the University of Bonn. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from “Aldo Moro” University of Bari, Italy, in 2019 with a thesis on “Speaker Recognition” and a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics from “La Sapienza” University of Rome, Italy, in 2022 with a thesis on Monocular Visual-SLAM. He collaborates to the AID4Crop project for 4D mapping of growing plants. His main research interest is RGB-D Visual-SLAM for Mobile Robotics.
