Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Font is an artificial intelligence researcher and roboticist with 11 years of experience applying probabilistic robotics and machine learning to underwater exploration. He holds a summa cum laude PhD and blends academic rigor with product-grade engineering to move algorithms—underwater SLAM, semantic perception, and sonar processing—from papers into multi-AUV deployments at Ocean Infinity. He designs adaptive exploration algorithms and scalable data workflows that speed surveys, improve mapping accuracy, and make habitat and ocean-health insights more reliable. As a lecturer in control and navigation, he translates complex theory into hands-on training, while contributing to ROS-based AUV systems and sensor-integration projects tested at sea. Colleagues value his knack for finding operational bottlenecks and delivering maintainable pipelines and interfaces across multidisciplinary teams. Based in Palma, he’s focused on accelerating humanity’s understanding of the ocean by marrying cutting-edge research with real-world autonomy.
