Summary
Monika Roznere is an Assistant Professor and head of the Marine Robotics Lab at Binghamton University, specializing in underwater robotic perception with eight years of research experience. Her work spans photometric stereo in submerged environments, next-best-view planning under dynamic lighting, exploration and adaptive sampling for autonomous marine vehicles, and sensor calibration and configuration. She completed a PhD in Computer Science at Dartmouth, with visiting work at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, blending rigorous academic research with hands-on field and lab experimentation. Monika’s background also includes teaching robot design and programming, and early systems work in courseware and web design, giving her a practical edge in deploying research into usable systems. Notably, she focuses on real-world challenges—like water-body-adaptive strategies and dynamic-light obstacle avoidance—that bridge perception algorithms and operational autonomy.
