About

Kimberly N. McGuire, PhD
Hi, I'm Kimberly! I am an independent roboticist with a background in aerial robotics and embedded systems. With Dutch and American roots, I am currently based in MalmΓΆ, Sweden. I completed my PhD in swarm robotics in 2019 and worked with the Aerial Robot Crazyflie at Bitcraze until 2024. I am also an experienced speaker at conferences and podcasts, and have occasionally lectured. Presently, I am engaged in a couple of robotic simulation projects.
