Yu Chen

I am a Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) student in the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University . I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Howie Choset . I am also honored to work with the legendary robotic engineer Ben Brown and my thesis comittee member Prof. Guanya Shi . Before joining CMU, I received my B.Eng. degree in Vehicle Enigineering (Railway) from Tongji University in 2022.
