Kevin Doherty
I'm a PhD student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the AeroAstro department, as part of the MIT/WHOI Joint Program.
I am a member of the WHOI Advanced Robotics and Perception Lab, where I'm advised by Yogi Girdhar. My research lies at the intersection of machine learning and autonomous robotics, particularly in areas like distributed learning and human-robot inteeraction for applications like underwater exploration.
Previously I was an undergraduate student at Stevens Institute of Technology where I did research on robot mapping in the Robust Field Autonomy Lab under Professor Brendan Englot.
