Golden, Colorado, United States
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolKaveh Fathian is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Colorado School of Mines and founder of the ARIA lab, specializing in robust perception, visual navigation, and SLAM for resilient robotic autonomy. With a PhD in Electrical Engineering and dual MS degrees in Mathematics and EE from UT Dallas, he brings an interdisciplinary foundation that blends rigorous theory with practical robotics research. He spent several years at MIT as a research scientist and postdoc, developing certifiable perception algorithms, relaxation techniques for hard optimizations, and outlier-rejection methods that tolerate extreme (>99%) corruption. His work targets multi-robot coordination and edge/cloud cyber-physical systems, aiming to make robot teams robust under real-world adversities. Known for pushing guarantees into perception and optimization, he combines mathematical depth with systems-level ambition to transition provable algorithms toward deployable multi-robot systems.
