Hooman Hedayati
PhD, Comp Sci '21
Computer Science

Hooman Hedayati works in human-robot interaction, machine learning听and robotics, seeking more seamless, safer and intuitive ways for people to interact with computationally controlled devices. A member of the IRON Lab since 2016, he is a doctoral听student in the Department of Computer Science. His work includes听studying the interactions between flying robots and humans, developing algorithms to support more socially sensitive behavior for robots, and using augmented reality to make working with robots more productive and safer.
