Sanne van Waveren
Pronounciation of my first nameI am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology. I work on safe human-robot interaction in the Cognitive Optimization and Relational (CORE) Robotics lab headed by Dr. Matthew Gombolay.
Prior to joining Georgia Tech, I received my PhD on correcting robot behavior using non-expert feedback at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. During my PhD, I also had the opportunity to spent three months at the TBD Lab, Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, USA).
My vision is a future where interactive robots operate seamlessly in human environments. My research develops methods that use human feedback and formal techniques, grounded in logic and mathematics, to enable robots to adapt their behavior autonomously and reliably.
