Marcus Gualtieri

PhD Student

  • MS in Computer Science, Northeastern University
  • BS in Software Engineering, Florida Institute of Technology

Marcus Gualtieri is a doctoral student at Northeastern University's Khoury College of Computer Sciences, advised by Robert Platt. He is interested in motion planning with information-gathering objectives. In particular, his work explores ways to autonomously move a sensor around, collecting the information necessary to perform reliable grasping and manipulation tasks.

Marcus earned his undergraduate degree in software engineering at the Florida Institute of Technology, and his graduate degree in computer science from Northeastern. Through his work, he hopes to achieve robots grasping and using objects reliably in unstructured environments. Going forward, Marcus would like to continue working on a research robot for the foreseeable future.
