The Board of Governors of Rutgers University met yesterday, and voted to promote and award tenure to three faculty members, Prof. Kostas Bekris, Prof. Abhishek Bhattacharjee, and Prof. Swastik Kopparty. Effective July 1st, 2016, they will be promoted to the rank of Associate Professor.
Prof. Kostas Bekris works on designing algorithms for planning and coordinating the motion of robots and physically-realistic virtual agents. His goal is to increase the capabilities, robustness and safety of physical systems, or the physical realism of simulated agents, while aiming for real-time performance.
