Numerical Methods for Things that Move | Zachary Manchester | RoboLaunch 2023

For this presentation in our RoboLaunch series, our guest speaker is Prof. Zackary Manchester. Zachary Manchester is an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, where he directs the Robotic Exploration Lab. His goal is to enable robotic systems that can match or exceed the level of agility, efficiency, and robustness demonstrated by humans and animals, especially in challenging environments. His research focuses both on the development of new algorithms and hardware to bring these algorithms to life. Zachary obtained both his Bachelor and PhD from Cornell University in 2009 and 2015, respectively. Before joining Carnegie Mellon University, he was an Assistant Professor at Stanford University, a Posdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University and worked as an Aerospace Engineer at NASA.
