Welcome to our research group: M2AP stands for Motion Modeling, Analysis, and Planning.

Our long-term goal is to study the fundamental computational questions that arise when computers are used to interact with physical world. Our research covers two main areas:

  • Robotics
  • Computational biology

In particular, we are interested in developing efficient computational representations and algorithms for synthesizing and analyzing motion, e.g., computing collision-free trajectories for robots or analyzing the protein-folding pathways.
