Karthik Desingh joined the Department of Computer Science & Engineering in 2022 as an assistant professor. He also directs the Robotics: Perception and Manipulation Lab at the University. He received his M.S. (2015) in computer science from Brown University and his Ph.D. (2020) in computer science and engineering from the University of Michigan. Prior to his time at the University, he served as a graduate student research assistant at Brown University from 2013-15 and at the University of Michigan from 2016-20. He also served as a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington from 2020-22.
Desingh's research focuses on addressing problems in sensing and perceiving the world for robot grasping, manipulation, and navigation. More precisely, he focuses on providing perceptual capabilities for robots using deep learning and probabilistic techniques to enable them to interact with objects and perform tasks in unstructured environments. His research interests broadly lie at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and machine learning.
