Research Assistant In Robot Perception Lab at Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolEaston Potokar is a robotics researcher and PhD candidate at Carnegie Mellon University with eight years of experience building SLAM, state estimation, and perception algorithms for field and underwater robots. His work bridges rigorous theory—specializing in invariant Kalman filters and state estimation—with practical implementations tested in the FRoStLab and CMU’s Robot Perception Lab. He co-founded SiPANN, an open-source Python package for silicon photonics modeling, demonstrating a knack for translating machine learning models into reusable tools. Easton’s background in computational mathematics and EE (all with 4.0 GPAs) gives him a strong analytical foundation, while hands-on roles from drafting to teaching show an uncommon blend of engineering rigor and practical craftsmanship.
