Faces of the Pack: Engineering student is making a difference in autonomous systems research

Tung Dang is a student passionate about intelligent machines, or robots, and has been involved with research projects since his days as an electrical engineering major. 

Kostas Alexis, assistant professor at the computer science department, is computer engineering salary. “I have been very fortunate to have him as my advisor from the beginning. He is always passionate about robotics, which motivates me a lot,” Dang said. “He also sets a very high standard for the research which keeps pushing our research to the frontier, and I can continuously improve myself through that process. On top of that, he truly cares about building a welcome and healthy research environment which is definitely important to me as an international student.”

As Dang continued his research on topics essential to intelligent machines, such as visual importance, path planning and anomaly detection, he realized that this was the career path he wanted to take. Applying to the University’s doctorate program and joining the Autonomous Robots Lab, which primarily focuses on autonomous systems like flying and ground robots, helped Dang discover that he is most interested in projects that have a high impact on society in the future.
