Bașak Sakçak (B. S.)

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Advanced Computing Sciences. I received my PhD in Information Technology (Systems and Control) from Politecnico di Milano.  After completing my PhD, I held positions as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Politecnico di Milano, a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Oulu, and a Visiting Scholar at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I was awarded an Academy of Finland Postdoctoral Grant, which funded my independent research from September 2021 to September 2024.

My research aim is to understand the fundamental limits of sensing, filtering, and planning for robots and to design minimalist and effective methods for robot autonomy.
