Thomas Wiedemann

Thomas Wiedemann serves as a post-doctoral researcher at the chair of 'Perception for Intelligent Systems' within the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), with additional affiliation to the Swarm Exploration Group at the German Aerospace Center (DLR).

He earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering from TUM (2012, 2014) and completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at Örebro University, Sweden (2021) through the Center for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS).

His research centers on mobile robot olfaction and gas source localization, developing autonomous systems for chemical plume tracking using multi-robot coordination and environmental exploration strategies. This work bridges robotics, sensor networks, and artificial intelligence for applications in hazardous environment monitoring and disaster response scenarios.

As part of DLR's Swarm Exploration Group at the Institute of Communications and Navigation, he contributes to advancing collaborative robotic exploration frameworks leveraging olfactory sensing capabilities.
