Abdullah Altawaitan

I'm currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC San Diego. I'm working under the guidance of my advisor, Prof. Nikolay Atanasov, at the Existential Robotics Laboratory. Before embarking on my Ph.D. journey, I worked at Honeywell as a project engineer. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, in 2017 and 2019, respectively.
