Glen Chou

Glen Chou is an Assistant Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology, holding appointments in the College of Computing (School of Cybersecurity & Privacy), College of Engineering (School of Aerospace Engineering), and a secondary appointment in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is also affiliated with the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM) and Machine Learning Center.

His research focuses on developing trustworthy algorithms for robotic and autonomous systems, integrating control theory, machine learning, optimization, perception, formal methods, planning, human-robot interaction, and statistics. Applications include robotic manipulation, aerospace autonomy, and cyber-physical systems.

He earned dual B.S. degrees in EECS and ME from UC Berkeley (2017), followed by M.S. (2019) and Ph.D. (2022) in ECE from the University of Michigan. Prior to joining Georgia Tech in 2024, he was a postdoc at MIT CSAIL.

• Scientific Awards:
• National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) fellowship
• NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
• Robotics: Science and Systems (R:SS) Pioneer (2022)

The Trustworthy Robotics Lab, founded by Chou, seeks to validate theoretical guarantees of algorithms in real-world hardware deployments. The lab is currently recruiting PhD students (Fall 2025, deadlines December 2-16, 2024) and welcomes UG/MS student collaborations.
