Nadia Figueroa is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Interactive Robotics Group at MIT CSAIL. Starting Jan. 1, 2022 she will join the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM) and Faculty Advisor in the GRASP lab. She holds a PhD in Robotics, Control and Intelligent Systems (2019) from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). Prior to this, she was a Research Assistant (2012-2013) at the Engineering Department of New York University Abu Dhabi (NYU-AD) and a Student Research Assistant (2011-2012) at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics (RMC) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). She holds a B.Sc. degree in Mechatronics (2007) from Monterrey Tech (ITESM-Mexico) and an M.Sc. degree in Automation and Robotics (2012) from the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany. Her research focuses on leveraging machine learning techniques with concepts from dynamical systems theory to solve salient problems in the areas of learning from demonstration, incremental/interactive learning, human-robot collaboration, multi-robot coordination, shared autonomy and control.
