Assistant Professor

Prospective w88 students

I am currently hiring motivated undergraduates and Ph.D. students with interest in data-driven robotics and w88, multi-modal sensory integration in insects, and bio-inspired robotics.

M.S. & Ph.D. in w88 sports betting

Research interests

We study insects for inspiration in designing robust and novel w88 systems for robots. Our lab uses real-time tracking, high speed video, and virtual reality to study freely moving animals. Then, aided by modern machine learning tools and w88 theory, we analyze the behavior, and implement the principles on robotic systems. Along the way, we use genetic tools available in the fruit fly to gain insight into how brains function.
