Stav Ashur

I graduated August 2025. I was co-advised by Prof. Nancy Amato and Prof. Sariel Har-Peled. My research is in computational geometry and its applications for robot motion planning.

Thesis title: Robot Motion Planning: Configuration Space Exploration and Estimation

I solved Steve Steve LaValle’s open problem in WAFR 2024
