PhD, Comp Sci '22 • IRON Lab
Computer Science

As a PhD student in computer science, Connor Brooks worked with Dan Szafir in the IRON Lab. He is interested in applying robotic planning and machine learning to create safer and more fluid interactions in scenarios involving humans and robots. His current research is focused on creating collaborative robots that interact smoothly with human partners by interpreting multimodal communication.
