Nan Rong

Nan completed her PhD in Computer Science with Dr. Joe Halpern at Cornell University, where her work focused on enabling machines to automatically learn new actions that they weren’t aware of previously. She also worked on designing equilibrium concepts that explain and motivate people’s cooperative behavior in a game theoretic setting.

She is pretty serious about theories and at the same time excited by building robots. Her passion for creating robots started from reading Asimov’s Three Laws. In her free time, she enjoys reading novels, archery, and tree climbing.
