I am interested in Human-Robot Interaction and Social Robotics. My current work revolves around developing tools to enable designers to create better human-robot interaction programs. In my first year, I am working on developing a tabletop tangible programming interface that will enable individuals with little programming experience to develop complete, correct social interaction programs to deploy to a robot. The project involves both the technical development of the system, making use of state of the art natural language processing and programming language techniques, and also the evaluation of how people are able to use this system to better design social robotics programs.

Dr. Robert Nowak

Job Titles:
  • Professor
  • Research Advisor
I am a Ph.D. student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. Broadly speaking I'm interested in anything to do with rigorous applied mathematics, but I am particularly interested in looking at problems in data science through the lens of mathematics. In particular, I'm interested in understanding the interpolation and approximation properties of various neural network architectures using regularization theory and understanding how the resulting neural network representations are related to more classical objects from mathematics and signal processing such as splines.

I'm interested in using computational and behavioral methods to estimate language experience and semantic knowledge, with the goal of exploring how different states of prior knowledge impact learning of new words and concepts. I'm focused on the interaction between one's background knowledge and the context of a given learning environment. By better understanding this interaction, I hope to contribute insight on questions like:

Xiaojin (Jerry) Zhu

Job Titles:

I'm interested in wrangling problems related to machine learning using mathematical theory. One example of this is machine teaching. The goal here is to train a learner/classifier to do some task with as small a data set as possible. For example, if the task is related to driving we might need to train a model to classify street signs as e.g. stop sign, yield sign, speed limit sign, etc.
