BINBIN XU
PhD Student
Department of Computing
Imperial College London
My current research interest is to achieve an object-level SLAM system working in a
dynamic environment. I am also broadly interested in SLAM, robotics and computational photography.
Brief Bio
I obtained my PhD at Imperial College London in 2022, supervised by Dr.
Stefan Leutenegger and Prof. Andrew Davison.
Before that, I received my Master degree in Precision Engineering from
the University of Tokyo in 2017, supervised by
Prof. Atsushi Yamashita and Prof.
Hajime Asama. Before that, I got my Bachelor's degree in Information Engineering from South China
University of Technology in 2014. I also did a research internship at Facebook Reality Labs with Dr. Lingni Ma during my PhD.
