Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Cristofalo is a technical staff engineer at MIT Lincoln Laboratory with nine years of experience bridging research and applied robotics after earning a PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford. His dissertation advanced lightweight, tightly-coupled vision-perception and control algorithms for autonomous aerial robots, with notable work in active 3D reconstruction and distributed SE(3) pose-graph optimization. An NDSEG fellow with a strong controls and dynamics foundation (MS Boston University, BS Drexel, summa cum laude), he has industrial experience at X (the moonshot factory) and Lockheed Martin, translating cutting-edge research into real-world systems. Colleagues find him comfortable operating at the intersection of perception, planning, and control, and he brings a rare combination of rigorous theory and hands-on systems engineering to multi-robot problems.
