Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVictor Reijgwart is a roboticist and applied scientist based in Zurich with nine years of experience spanning academic research and hands-on system development. He holds a PhD focus in mechatronics, robotics and automation from ETH Zürich and transitioned from PhD and postdoc roles into applied science at the RAI Institute. Victor combines deep expertise in mapping and perception—evidenced by substantive back-end contributions to the well-regarded voxblox voxel-mapping library—with practical vehicle systems experience from driverless racing and industry internships. He is comfortable moving between low-level memory and data-structure fixes and higher-level estimation, planning and control problems, making him effective at turning research prototypes into robust systems. Colleagues describe him as a builder who surfaces subtle implementation issues (e.g., initialization, copy semantics, memory management) that materially improve long-running robotic software.

Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:3 reviews, 100 commits, 15 PRs in 3 years 1 month
Contributions summary:Victor primarily contributed to the core functionalities of the voxblox library. Their work involved modifying the internal structure of the voxel-based mapping system, including making internal functions public to enhance functionality within the voxgraph module. They also addressed bugs related to memory management and made improvements to color map implementations, ensuring correct data handling and providing unique identifiers for specific elements. Additionally, the user made several changes to ensure correct initialization and copy operations of internal parameters within the core layer functionalities of the voxblox library.
