Tenny Yin

Hi! I'm a first year PhD student at Princeton advised by Prof. Ani Majumdar. I'm interested in building safe and reliable robotic systems that can work alongside humans.

Previously, I recevied my B.S. in Computer Science (CS) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from Cornell University. I am fortunate to work with Prof. Hadas Kress-Gazit on verifiable robotics and Prof. Bharath Hariharan on visual navigation.
