Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Mangelson is an assistant professor and co-founder with 11 years of experience specializing in field robotic navigation, localization, perception, and mapping, particularly for marine systems like AUVs and ASVs. He combines academic rigor from PhD and postdoctoral work at Michigan and Carnegie Mellon with practical entrepreneurship at Aquatonomy to push reliable, multi-vehicle, multi-sensor robotic systems toward real-world deployment. His technical focus spans SLAM, state estimation, planning under uncertainty, and perception, with notable work on robust underwater ship-hull inspection and multi-modality mapping. Based in Provo, Utah, he brings hands-on systems experience—from FPGA and LabVIEW high-level synthesis early in his career to leading research groups and training large cohorts of students and TAs. Colleagues value his blend of theoretical depth and practical engineering that reduces operational risk in challenging field environments.
