peterng (at) mit (dot) edu Peter (Phat) Nguyen is a researcher at MIT CSAIL, advised by Prof. Daniela Rus. Peter completed his Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he was a researcher at the Computer Vision Lab, advised by Prof. Erik Learned-Miller. My research interest lies at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and robotics. My goal is to bridge the gap between high-level cognition and low-level planning and control.

Previously, I co-founded Stella Agritech to create technologies that enhance the efficiency of agriculture. I also led ISHCMC's sustainability program with Tanya Meftah, which was nominated by the European Chambers of Commerce for the Best Sustainable Business Initiative in Vietnam in 2019. I was also part of the UMass Rocket Team between 2021-2022. |
