Cyrill Stachniss is working as an academic advisor (Akademischer Rat)
in the lab for Autonomous Intelligent Systems at the University of
Freiburg.  In 2006, he was with the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology (ETH) in Zurich. He worked as a senior researcher in the
lab of Roland Siegwart. His is interested in probabilistic state
estimation techniques in the context of mobile robotics. His main area
of my research is autonomous exploration in combination with solutions
to the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem. He is
also interested in classification and learning approaches including
scene analysis as well as in computer controlled cars, vision and
navigation techniques.


Cyrill Stachniss was a PhD student at Wolfram Burgard's research lab
at the University of Freiburg. He received his Ph.D. degree
("Dr. rer. nat.") in April 2006.  His PhD thesis focused of
exploration and mapping with mobile robots.  In 2002, he and received
his M.Sc. degree ("Diplom") in computer science from the University of
Freiburg.  From 1997 to 2000, he studied computer science
("Vordiplom"/B.Sc.)  and physics ("Vordiplom"/B.Sc.) from the
University of Marburg.
