Professor Matei Ciocarlie
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Matei Ciocarlie is an Associate Professor of Mechanical
Engineering at Columbia University. His main interest is in
robotics, looking to discover how artificial mechanisms can
interact with the world as skillfully as biological organisms.
Matei’s current work focuses on robot motor control,
mechanism and sensor design, planning and learning, all
aiming to demonstrate complex motor skills such as dexterous
manipulation. Matei completed his Ph.D. at Columbia
University in New York; his doctoral dissertation was the
winner of the 2010 Robotdalen Scientific Award. Before
joining the faculty at Columbia, he was a Research Scientist and
then Group Manager at Willow Garage, Inc., a privately funded
Silicon Valley robotics research lab, and then a Senior Research
Scientist at Google, Inc. In recognition of his work, Matei has
been awarded the Early Career Award by the IEEE Robotics
and Automation Society, a Young Investigator Award by the
Office of Naval Research, a CAREER Award by the National
Science Foundation, and a Sloan Research Fellowship by the
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
