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 of interactive robots that can query human feedback and adapt their behavior accordingly. In my work, I develop techniques that leverage human feedback and techniques from formal methods to automate such behavior correction using logics and mathematics.
For an up-to-date list of my papers see my Google Scholar page.
