wbthomason/README.md

Hi!

I am a roboticist with a PhD from the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. I am currently a roboticist/research scientist at The AI Institute working on combining planning and learning for effective, scalable long-horizon robot manipulation. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Kavraki Lab at Rice University.

Though I primarily research robot planning, I’m also interested in robot learning, hardware-accelerated robotics, programming languages, etc.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, hiking, biking, playing/composing music, and writing open-source software (often in the form of plugins for Neovim).

You can contact me through the information listed on my website.
