PhD Students

Philip Huang

Philip Huang received a BASc in Engineering Science in 2021 and an MSc in Computer Science in 2023 from the University of Toronto. His research interests include multi-robot collaboration, task and motion planning, and machine learning. A long-term goal of his research is to develop algorithms that enable individual robots and robot teams to accomplish complex and long-horizon tasks in dynamic and uncertain environments.


Yorai Shaoul

Yorai earned a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2021. His research interests span multi-robot task and motion planning, robotic manipulation, statistical learning, and computer vision. He works to harness insights from established planning algorithms to address messy real-world challenges in manipulation.

Rishi Veerapaneni

Rishi works with Professors Maxim Likhachev and Jiaoyang Li in the Robotics Institute at CMU and is supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. His specific research interest is in (1) designing better heuristic search algorithms, (2) multi-agent motion planning and coordination (e.g. MAPF), and (3) combining search with machine learning. Previously, he double majored in EECS and Applied Math at UC Berkeley and was very active in teaching (EE16A, CS188, CS170 x2).

Masters Students

He Jiang

He Jiang received a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2017 and another Master's degree in Control Science and Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2020. Then he worked for more than 1 year at Hangzhou High-Tech Zone (Binjiang), China. He is interested in planning and his current research focuses on Multi-Agent Systems. Hopefully, he can enjoy his days at CMU and do some meaningful work. He is also interested in Soccer, Poker, Chinese Chess & Nintendo Switch, by the way.
