An Thai Le joined the Intelligent Autonomous System lab on November 1st, 2021, as a Ph.D. student. He is currently working on applying Optimal Transport methods for the correspondence problem of Imitation Learning and also Motion Planning problems. He aims to explore fascinating viewpoints from Computational Geometry and apply these perspectives to Robotics and Machine Learning.

Before his Ph.D., An Thai Le has worked on motion optimization and reactive motion generation methods applied in robotics manipulation and human-robot collaboration settings. His thesis entitled Learning Task-Parameterized Riemannian Motion Policies ( Code link) was written under the supervision of Dr. Jim Mainprice from Universitaet Stuttgart and Dr. Meng Guo from BCAI. The thesis aims to learn movement primitives that are context-dependent for adaptation under different task conditions and composable with other behavior skills such as collision avoidance.
