Fabio Ramos ![](/sites/default/files/person/Fabio_Ramos_Official_2018.png) My research is focused on modelling and understanding uncertainty for prediction and decision making tasks, and includes Bayesian statistics, data fusion, anomaly detection, and reinforcement learning. Over the last ten years I have applied these techniques to robotics, mining and exploration, environment monitoring, and neuroscience.
