Miguel Massot is a Senior Research Fellow within Engineering and the Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton. He currently works on underwater robotics, seafloor mapping and imaging techniques for a better understanding of our oceans in Ocean Perception research group.
We know more about the surface of the Moon and about Mars than we do about the sea floor.
He graduated in 2011 from the Polytechnic University of Barcelona with an MEng degree in Industrial Engineering. In 2013, he graduated with an MSc in Information Technologies from the University of the Balearic Islands and PhD in 2019. His PhD thesis focused on underwater laser 3D reconstruction.
He is a field robotics researcher with more than eighty days spent at sea doing field experiments whilst collaborating with other universities and 3rd parties on state-of-the-art research and work-class underwater robots. His research focuses on improving the imaging capabilities in ocean exploration and situational awareness.
In 2018, he was appointed as a research fellow on a project about scalable underwater mapping and drifters called DriftCam, and in 2021 as senior research fellow for the project TechOceanS.
