Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Luck is a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam specializing in robotics, deep reinforcement learning, and co-adaptation of robot design and behavior. With eight years of research experience across institutions including Aalto University, The University of Edinburgh, Facebook AI Research and a stint at DeepMind, he publishes at top venues such as R:SS, IROS and AAAI. His work blends algorithmic RL advances with physical robot design — from UR5/Baxter experiments to news-covered paper-laminate “turtle” robots — demonstrating a knack for moving ideas from simulation to real-world platforms. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Arizona State University and has repeatedly focused on data-efficient methods that jointly optimize morphology and control, an angle that distinguishes his research.
