معرفی
Constantinos Chamzas is an Assistant Professor in Robotics Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), with an affiliated appointment in the Computer Science Department. He leads the Efficient Learning for Planning and Intelligent Systems (ELPIS) Lab, which focuses on developing autonomous robotic systems capable of reasoning about and interacting with the physical world.
His research interests span robotics, artificial intelligence, motion planning, machine learning, and autonomous systems, with specific focus on planning efficiency, planning under uncertainty, and planning from visual inputs. The ELPIS Lab integrates classical planning algorithms with state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to develop efficient and robust robotic agents.
Prof. Chamzas has received notable recognition including an NSF-GRFP fellowship during his doctoral studies and a recent NSF-CRII grant for $175k. His publication record includes papers at top robotics conferences such as RSS, IROS, and HSCC, with research focusing on motion planning algorithms, robot learning, and efficient computational methods for robotics.
His lab actively advises both Master's and Ph.D. students, with recent graduates and new students joining regularly. The ELPIS Lab maintains strong connections with the robotics research community and participates in major conferences and workshops.
- NSF-GRFP fellowship recipient
- NSF-CRII grant awardee ($175k)
- Multiple publications at top robotics conferences (RSS, IROS, HSCC)
Prof. Chamzas received his Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2017 and completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at Rice University in 2023 under the supervision of Dr. Lydia Kavraki and Dr. Anshumali Shrivastava.
