Geometric Learning Lab

We study symmetry, geometry and structure in machine learning, and put them to work in robotics and the physical sciences.

Joining the lab

I am recruiting one PhD student to start in Fall 2027. Apply through the Khoury PhD application portal and email me to say you have applied. A background in mathematics, physics or robotics is welcome; so is a background in none of them, if you like thinking about structure. Northeastern undergraduates and master's students interested in research should email me with a short note about what you want to work on.
