Research Interests

There is still a long way for robust and fully independent marine vehicles that would be able to efficiently explore our oceans or other ocean worlds. To this end, my fields of research include:

marine robotics design, localization and mapping, acoustic perception, sensors, energy systems, extended autonomy and operations in confined environments.

Biography

Angelos Mallios is a visiting investigator at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Before this appointment, he has been in the marine research since 1999, where he has served as a diving and ROV supervisor, responsible for the maintenance of the manned submersible THETIS at the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR), and he has participated in a number of research cruises. His passion for the ocean and technology motivated him to return to academics after 10 years in the field, earning his M.Sc. and PhD degrees on computer vision and robotics.
