Sarah Dowden

Hello! I am currently a senior studying computer science. I am interested in robotic task and motion planning, multi-robot systems, distributed motion planning, machine learning, and computational geometry. My expected graduation date is May 2026, and I am currently apply to PhD programs.

My research experiences in this lab include Mind in Vitro and extending the SPITE project to multi-robot systems. Outside of this lab, I have also participated in computational geometry research under Professor Sariel Har-Peled.
