He holds an M.S. and B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (2013) and has been a research assistant at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne. His main area of research is soft robotics, an intersection of control, materials, and cognitive science. Ben led discussion of quantum control in the Quantum Robotics Group.Tanay Mehta is a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Northeastern University. He holds a B.S. in mathematics from the University of Southern California. His research is focused on the theoretical aspects of computer science and the fundamental limits of computation. He is interested in the role ofpseudo-randomness in complexity theory and cryptography. Tanay served as the lead for quantum information theory discussions in the Quantum Robotics Group.Alex Mitev holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Arizona. His main research interests are in statistical modeling, model order reduction, machine learning, and dynamic programming. He has published several papers analyzing problems of timing analysis, macro-modeling, and the impact of process variations for VLSI circuits. Alex led discussions of quantum circuits in the Quantum Robotics Group.Zhiyang Ong is an Electrical Engineering Ph.D. student at Texas A&M University.
