Jacob Sayono
I am an undergraduate senior at UCLA, majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Data Science Engineering.
I was advised by Dr. Yang Zhang at HiLab in Human-Computer Interaction (focus: interaction-powered systems)
and Dr. Brett Lopez at Vectr Lab in Robotics (focus: multi-agent systems).
My research interest is in Human-Robot Interaction, particulary in developing mathematical formalizations and algorithms for fluent interactions between human and machine. I intend to begin my PhD in Fall 2024.
