Senior🎓
Top SchoolCagri Kilic is an Assistant Professor and director of the Space Robotics and Generative Estimation Lab with eight years of experience developing computationally efficient state estimation and cooperative localization for space and planetary robotics. His work spans perception, planning, and robot–terrain interaction in visually constrained environments, with a Ph.D. focused on localization techniques for Mars and Moon rovers. A former Fulbright Scholar and recipient of the Statler and JPL JVSRP fellowships, he blends academic rigor with hands-on mission-focused research cultivated through roles at WVU, JPL, and early CubeSat and CanSat projects. He also brings practical orbital systems experience from Istanbul Technical University and industry internships, uniquely tying trajectory and orbital dynamics insight into terrestrial robotic autonomy.
