Jeremy Acheampong

I am a recent M.S. graduate in Robotics from the University of Michigan, where I was a part of the Mapping and Motion Lab advised by Bernadette Bucher, working on mobile manipulation.

Previously, I earned a B.A. in Mathematics from Capital University and worked on machine learning for visual perception through research internships at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Sensors Directorate and the the U.S. Army DEVCOM C5ISR Center. Outside the lab, I serve in the U.S. Army National Guard.
