Ioannis Tsikelis

I am currently a Doctoral Researcher at the Inria Centre at the University of Lorraine (HuCeBot Team) under the supervision of Dr. Enrico Mingo-Hoffman. My research work focuses on combining model-based methods and machine learning for robotic motion planning and control.

I graduated with a Diploma in Computer Engineering and Informatics from the University of Patras, Greece in 2024. My diploma thesis on optimization based motion planning was supervised by Prof. Emmanouil Psarakis and Prof. Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis.

As a student, I was a member of the University of Patras Robotics Club, an interdisciplinary team of students aimed at designing and constructing small and medium size robots for various competitive scenarios. Our robots were awarded numerous times internationally.
