Biography

Working on robotic imaging, computational imaging, robotic vision, and novel imaging technologies.

Dr Donald Dansereau is a continuing academic at the Australian Centre for Robotics at the University of Sydney, head of the Robotic Imaging Lab, and Sensing and Perception Theme Lead for the ARC ITRH in Intelligent Robotic Systems for Real-Time Asset Management. Dr Dansereau’s work explores how computational imaging can help robots see and do, encompassing the design and application of novel imaging devices, perception algorithms, visual representations, and learning architectures. In 2004 he completed an MSc at the University Calgary, receiving the Governor General’s Gold Medal for his pioneering work in light field imaging. In 2014 he completed a PhD on underwater robotic vision at the University of Sydney, followed by postdoctoral appointments at the Queensland University of Technology and Stanford University. Dr Dansereau authored the Light Field Toolbox for Matlab and his industry experience includes physics engines for video games, computer vision for microchip packaging, and chip design for automated electronics testing.
