Khai Nguyen

I am a graduate student in the MS in Mechanical Engineering–Research program at Carnegie Mellon Univeristy. I am advised by Zac Manchester as a member of the Robotic Exploration Lab, in the Robotics Institute. I worked with Jesus Tordesillas and Marco Hutter in the Robotic Systems Lab, ETH Zurich within the Robotics Student Fellowship.

I am currently a Vingroup Scholar with the mission to lead and advance the development of science and technology in Vietnam in the future.

Previously, I graduated with a BS in Control Engineering and Automation–Talent Program from Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST). I have ~2 years of experience in autopilot systems with Viettel Aerospace Institute.
