Paul Jansonnie

I joined the Intelligent Autonomous System lab in October 2022 as a PhD student in collaboration with Naver Labs Europe. I am mainly advised by Prof. Jan Peters and Dr. Oleg Arenz at TU Darmstadt and by Dr. Seungsu Kim and Dr. Jean-Michel Renders at Naver Labs Europe.

I am particularly interested in robotic manipulation and I currently work on soft body manipulation. Prior to joining IAS, I was a research engineer at Naver Labs Europe, where I worked on using self-play for the discovery of high-level motion primitives for rigid body manipulation. I graduated from Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay, where I received one master's degree in Electrical Engineering (M2 E3A) and one in Machine Learning and Computer Vision (M2 MVA).

I am happy to collaborate with motivated students to work on soft body manipulation. Students should feel free to contact me to discuss exciting research directions.
