hi, i'm kevin.
- i'm a phd student at uwarsaw advised by marek cygan and łukasz kuciński.
- i previously studied robotics at epfl and engineering at uwaterloo.
- i previously shipped hardware at kodiak, nuro, lyft, carbon and tesla.
i research the co-design of robot morphologies and controllers. my motivation lies in the belief that embodied intelligence emerges from the interplay between an agent's morphology, environment and cognitive capabilities. to this end, my goal is to build robots that can adapt, learn and interact with the world in a manner akin to biological intelligence.
i reside in warsaw amsterdam, originally from waterloo and grew up in kaiserslautern. i like to bike and play positive sum games.
