Welcome!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n

I am No\u00e9mie Jaquier, I am a WASP<\/a>-affiliated Assistant Professor at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology<\/a> in Stockholm. I am the head of the Geometric Robot Learning (GeoRob) Lab<\/a> in the Department of Robotics, Perception, and Learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the  High Performance Humanoid Technologies Lab (H\u00b2T)<\/a> at KIT<\/a> and a visiting postdoctoral scholar at the Stanford Robotics Lab<\/a>. I received my PhD from EPFL<\/a> in 2020 and did a PhD sabbatical at the Bosch Center for AI<\/a> during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my research, I leverage differential geometry and physics-based inductive bias to develop data-efficient robot learning, optimization, and control algorithms with sound theoretical guarantees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GeoRob lab is hiring!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GEOMANIP<\/strong>, my project on the geometric nature of deformable object manipulation, has received an ERC Starting Grant<\/strong>!
We are now recruiting the first PhD students to work on uncovering the geometric nature of robot manipulation of deformable objects<\/strong>, combining differential geometry with physics-inspired neural representations to develop a novel physically-grounded manipulation pipeline, including perception, policy learning, and control.
Applications are opened until October 30th <\/strong>here: https:\/\/kth.varbi.com\/what:job\/jobID:973983\/<\/a>

\u26a0\ufe0f Important applications notes:
– All applications must<\/strong> be submitted through the KTH application system. Other applications will not be considered.
– Please refer to the position description and selection criteria for specific requirements.
– We will carefully review all applications. No confirmation emails are necessary.
– We are unable to meet with applicants prior to the interview stage. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book release<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The preprint of our book “Riemannian Manifolds in Robot Learning, Optimization, and Control”<\/a> is now available online!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
