About Me

Andrew Cole

I am a Master's student in Robotics at Northeastern University, working with Prof. Rob Platt in the Helping Hands Lab.

My research focuses on robotic manipulation, with particular interest in machine learning methods that enable robots to perform complex manipulation tasks. I am currently working on equivariant representations for robot learning from visual observations. I formerly worked as a condensed matter physics researcher in Tafti Lab at Boston College.
