Robin王乾玮

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Princeton University, advised by Tom Silver in the Princeton Robot Planning & Learning Lab (PRPL). I am supported by the Gordon Wu Fellowship.

Previously, I received my B.S. in Computer Science with Honors from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

I study contact-rich manipulation: contact with the world through physical interaction with objects and everyday environments, and contact with humans through physical interaction and collaboration between people and robots.
