Felix Schill

Dr. Felix Schill completed his Diploma degree in Computer Science at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany in 2003, and was awarded a PhD in Computer Science at The Australian National University (ANU) in 2008 for his thesis on Distributed Communication in Swarms of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. He started working on underwater robots in 2003 at the Australian National University, where he worked on underwater communication channels, scalable ad-hoc networks for robotic swarms, and the development of underwater robots. He joined the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in 2011 to work on collision avoidance for swarms of aerial robots. His research results are published in over a dozen peer-reviewed conference and journal papers. Formally educated in computer science, Dr. Schill is an expert in real-time systems, ad-hoc communication networks, aerial and underwater robotics, and also has extensive experience in designing and building electronics, embedded systems, rapid manufacturing/3D printing, composite manufacturing and mechanical design.
