Alex McConville

A Postdoctoral Researcher focusing on the intersection between humans and robotics and bringing robotic applications into the real world. 

Hoping to make a difference in the application of robotics for climate modelling and resilience, currently focusing on human control of swarm robots in emergency situations such as wildfire monitoring and engagement and the application of swarms to aid in pollination.  After completing their PhD on UAVs for atmospheric measurement and vertical profiling and being involved in projects gathering airborne ash particulates from volcanic plumes sparked their interest in making robotic systems easier to use to allow them to become more widely accepted.
