Bahaa Aldeeb

Researcher in Robot Learning & Perception towards Manipulation

prof_pic.jpg

I am a researcher interested in mobile robot perception and machine learning. Exploring ways of leveraging weak signals to boostrap the learning of perception towards mobile manipulation piques my interest.

Currently, I work as a research staff member in the Robotics, Perception, and Manipulation Laboratory lead by Professor Karthik Desingh at the University of Minnesota, Twin-cities.

Prior to that I earned my Masters in Robotics in 2022 and a Bachelors in Computer Engineering in 2017, from University of Michigan. I also worked as a Perception Algorithm Engineer between 2018 and 2020.

I have had the forture of holding positions at various companies including The University of Minnesota, The University of Michigan, Zenuity, Toyota, Tesla, and ZF.
