Julien Lagacé started his Master's in computer engineering at Polytechnique Montréal in September 2025, supervised by Pierre-Yves Lajoie. He received his Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Calgary in June 2024. He is interested in navigation & localization, autonomous robotics, and robotic perception.
Current Work
Julien’s research focuses on developing scalable, high-precision vehicle localization by fusing GPS, visual data, and public map information through machine learning and uncertainty estimation. By addressing the limitations of existing high-density mapping solutions, his work aims to improve localization robustness in complex environments such as urban canyons and tunnels where traditional systems often fail.
