Reader (Associate Professor), School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh

Steve Tonneau is a reader (Associate Professor) at the University of Edinburgh. He defended his Phd in 2015 after 3 years in the INRIA/IRISA Mimetic research team, and pursued a post-doc in robotics at LAAS-CNRS in Toulouse, within the Gepetto team. His research focuses on contact-rich motion planning, which involves combinatorial optimisation, machine learning, but mostly proposing efficient models for solving theoretically impratical problems. Applications include computer graphics animation as well as robotics.

He is also deputy director the the CDT D2AIR and teaches the Advanced Robotics course in the School of Informatics.
