I'm a Robotics PhD candidate at Rutgers University, working with Professor Jingjin Yu. As a fourth-year Robotics Ph.D. with a Mathematics bachelor's degree, my research focuses on the combinatorial problems in Robotics. And During my research projects, I acquired a diverse range of experience in robotics, including perception, deep learning, and utilizing physics engines such as ROS and Pybullet. I also had the opportunity to build various real-world robot systems. Email: kg627 [AT] scarletmail.rutgers.edu |
