Lucas Flygare

Lucas Flygare is currently a graduate student doing research in motion planning and robotics. I graduated from the University of Wisocnsin-Madison with degrees in computer science and applied mathematics. While I was at the University of Wisconsin I spent mutliple semesters tutoring and mentoring athletes in pre calculus, calculus and computer science classes. I have worked with over 80 different athletes from all varsity sports teams. I spent two summers doing research in Dr. Nancy Amato’s lab. My first summer at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign I won the symposium award for all of the REU summer reserach projects in computer science. I am currently doing research in insect motion planning and developing a local planner for the gliding motion of our system.
