Alejandro Jarabo-Peñas

AI & Robotics Researcher

I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Southern Denmark, where I focus on human-robot interaction by integrating Large Language Models with multi-robot systems for search and rescue operations. When I'm not immersed in research, you'll find me staying active on courts and fields— volleyball, padel, and football are my go-to ways to unwind and recharge.

PhD in AI & Robotics at SDU. I research human-robot teaming and use AI to make multi-robot search and rescue smarter and safer. Also a sports enthusiast.
