I am looking for talented PhD students who are excited about computer vision, natural language understanding, and machine learning in the context of robotics. If you are interested, I encourage you to apply to TTIC .
I am an assistant professor and director of the Robot Intelligence through Perception Laboratory (RIPL) at the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTI-Chicago), a philanthropically endowed academic computer science institute located on the University of Chicago campus. I also hold a part-time faculty appointment in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago .
Prior to joining TTI-Chicago, I was a research scientist in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) , where I was fortunate to work with Seth Teller . I received my PhD from the Joint Program between MIT and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution , under the supervision of John Leonard . My thesis considered the problem of scaling robotic mapping and localization to larger unknown environments. I studied feature-based algorithm
