Jennifer Grannen

I am a CS PhD student at Stanford University in the Stanford AI Lab (SAIL), advised by Prof. Dorsa Sadigh. I am broadly interested in human-robot interaction and multi-agent systems for real-world manipulation tasks. My work is supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

Previously, I completed my Bachelor's in Computer Science at UC Berkeley, where I worked in the AUTOLAB within Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) and was advised by Prof. Ken Goldberg.
