Jeremy Acheampong

I'm a master's student in Robotics at the University of Michigan. I am a member of the Mapping and Motion Lab and advised by Bernadette Bucher, where I'm currently exploring vision-language models (VLMs) for semantic grasping.

Before the University of Michigan, I earned a Bachelors of Arts in Mathematics from Capital University and conducted research as an Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Sensors Directorate intern, where I developed data augmentation pipelines and built tools for evaluating and optimizing AI classifiers trained on small-scale and synthetic datasets. I also worked as a Research and Development Intern at the U.S. Army DEVCOM C5ISR Center, where I trained YOLO-based models for infrared human and object detection. Outside the lab, I serve as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army National Guard as a Cyber Warfare Officer.
