Dr. Narsimlu Kemsaram is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He holds Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD degrees in Computer Science. His research focuses on AI-enabled autonomy for robotic systems, with particular emphasis on multi-robot coordination, swarm robotics, and aerial robotics (UAVs). He develops learning- and perception-driven methods that enable robots to operate collaboratively and robustly in complex real-world environments, bridging algorithmic innovation with deployable robotic platforms.

During his PhD, he served as an Assistant Researcher in the Department of Computer Science at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (University of Würzburg), Germany, contributing to the project “An Autonomous Sensor Network for the Detection and Observation of Meteors (ASMET)”, funded by the European Union Regional Development Fund (EU-RDF).

Following his PhD, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Mobile Perception Systems (MPS) Lab, Signal Processing Systems Group, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), The Netherlands, where he worked on “Integrated Cooperative Automated Vehicles (i-CAVE): Sensing, Mapping, and Localization”, supported by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).

He then joined the Space Robotics (SpaceR) Group at the SnT Research Centre, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg, as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. There, he contributed to EU- and nationally funded projects on trustworthy and connected robotic systems, including “Secure and Safe Multi-Robot Systems (SESAME)” (EU Horizon 2020) and “5G-Sky: Interconnecting the Sky in 5G and Beyond – A Joint Communication and Control Approach” (Luxembourg National Research Fund, FNR CORE).

Most recently, he was a Research Fellow in Multi-Robot Systems in the Department of Computer Science at University College London (UCL), London, United Kingdom, where he worked on “Swarm Spatial Sound Modulators (Swarm SSMs)”, funded through an EPSRC Prosperity Partnership and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). This work strengthened his focus on scalable multi-robot autonomy and swarm intelligence, including coordination, perception, and distributed decision-making for cooperative robotic systems.
