Ross Worobel

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

At the University of Minnesota, I participate in robotic grasping research as a member of the Choice Robotics Lab, advised by Prof. Changhyun Choi and Prof. Nikolaos Papanikolopoulos. Prior to my PhD program, I worked on a M.S. in robotics at the University of Minnesota. Before that, I worked for several years in Chicago, IL, where I am from. I did my B.S. at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).
