Assistant Professor of Computer Science School of Informatics and Computing Indiana University at Bloomington Bio Kris Hauser received his PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2008, advised by Jean-Claude Latombe, and received bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics from UC Berkeley in 2003. He also worked as a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley, in the Automation Lab under Ken Goldberg. He has held his current position as Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Indiana University since August 2009. More... Research My research studies the motion spaces of complex, high dimensional robotic and biological systems, with the aims of helping robots to perform sophisticated tasks, understanding the fundamental capabilities of mechanical designs, and exploring how humans and robots can safely perform cooperative tasks. Applications of my work include robotic manipulation, computer- and robot- assisted surgery, and legged locomotion. More... Teaching Fall 2009: B551 Elements of Artificial Intelligence |
