Taqi Hamoda

Hello, and welcome! 👋

I’m a graduate researcher at the University of Girona’s Underwater Vision and Robotics Research Centre (CIRS), where I’ve had the privilege of working under the guidance of Dr. Nuno Gracias. My current research focuses on opti-acoustic sensor fusion for underwater 3D mapping and localization (SLAM).

I was an undergraduate researcher at the Continuum Robotics Lab (CRL) at the University of Toronto, where I completed my bachelor thesis under the supervision of Dr. Jessica Burgner-Kahrs. II was the recipient of several awards, including the TII/UdG Educational Grant, the prestigious NSERC’s Undergraduate Student Research Award, and the University of Toronto Mississauga’s Undergraduate Research Grant.

Hobbies

Outside of work, you might find me at the local public library trying to learn Spanish (español no es facil y me hace sentir tonto 🙃). I also love biking, traveling, and reading but, to be honest, who doesn’t 😅

I am lucky to have wonderful people in my life who continue to support me throughout this journey. If you think that I could be helpful in anyway, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
