Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaxime Ferrera is a research scientist specializing in computer vision and robotic perception with 12 years of experience building real-time visual SLAM, structure-from-motion and 3D reconstruction systems for challenging environments. Based at IFREMER’s Underwater Robotics Lab, he focuses on sensor fusion and navigation for underwater robots, translating research prototypes into robust, real-time pipelines. His background includes a PhD and postdoc at ONERA/LIRMM where he developed monocular camera + MEMS-IMU + pressure sensor localization and dense mapping tailored to archaeological underwater sites. Maxime combines academic rigor with practical engineering—having worked on multimodal thermal-stereo fusion for autonomous platforms and fingerprint/WBF integration during industry internships—illustrating a strong grasp of embedded perception and systems integration. He is based in Toulon and brings a niche expertise in underwater visual relocalization and live mapping that bridges ocean robotics and aerospace-grade perception research.
