Eric Chen

I'm a PhD student at MIT EECS and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, as part of the MIT/WHOI Joint Program. I work on perception and planning for autonomous underwater robots with Dr. Yogesh Girdhar and Prof. Nicholas Roy. I'm grateful to be supported under an NDSEG Fellowship.

Before starting my PhD, I was a Research Engineer in the autonomy division at Aurora Flight Sciences where I worked with Dr. Sildomar Monteiro. I completed a BS in Physics, BS in EECS, and MEng in EECS at MIT, where I worked with Prof. Pulkit Agrawal.
