Cristiana Mirandade Farias

Cristiana Mirandade Farias joined the Intelligent Autonomous Systems lab at TU Darmstadt in October 2024 as a postdoctoral researcher. Her primary research interests are in data-efficient robotic grasping, manipulation, as well as how to incorporate multimodal information and uncertainty into the grasping and manipulation pipeline.

Previously, Cristiana did her PhD at the University of Birmingham under the supervision of Prof. Rustam Stolkion and Dr. Naresh Marturi at the Extreme Robotics Lab. There, she studied how different sensory input can be used for data-efficient object understanding for manipulation actions, such as tactile exploration and skill learning. Before that, she completed both her MsC in Control and Automation and BsC in Control and Automation Engineering at the University of Brasilia, where she worked at Laboratory of Control and Automation focusing on singularity avoidance and kinematic and dynamic modeling using dual quaternion algebra.
