Mina Henein

Mina Henein is a Lecturer at the School of Cybernetics, Australian National University (ANU), where he explores the ethical, legal, and societal implications of emerging technologies like autonomous systems and AI. His research focuses on SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) in dynamic environments, graph-based methods, and optimization techniques. He holds a Ph.D. from ANU’s Robotic Vision Center and dual M.Sc. degrees in Advanced Robotics from Università degli Studi di Genova (Italy) and École Centrale de Nantes (France). Before academia, he worked in the FMCG sector and as a visiting researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology and ETH Zurich.

His research interests span cybernetics, ethical design, and sustainability, with affiliations to ANU’s Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions (ICEDS) in areas like sustainable transport, extreme events, and risk resilience. Mina’s work bridges technical innovation with societal challenges, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration and real-world applications.

While no scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, his contributions to SLAM and autonomous systems have been published in top-tier journals and conferences. He actively engages with policy and outreach initiatives to translate technical research into actionable solutions for climate and disaster resilience.
