I am Alp, a PhD student in the Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics Department at Lehigh University. Currently, I am working at the Autonomous and Intelligent Robotics Laboratory (AIRLab) with Professor Subhrajit Bhattacharya on topological and geometrical path planning algorithms. Before I joined Lehigh, I was a Master’s student in the Robotics Engineering Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). While at WPI, I worked at the Manipulation & Environmental Robotics (MER Lab) with Professor Berk Calli on planning methods for in-hand manipulation and written my Master’s thesis on the same subject.
