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.
