Tariq Iqbal

I am currently an assistant professor at the University of Virginia. Please visit www.tiqbal.com for latest updates.

I am a postdoctoral associate in the Interactive Robotics Group at MIT, supervised by Prof. Julie Shah.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California San Diego in 2017, advised by Prof. Laurel Riek.

I am interested in building robotic systems that are capable of working alongside people in teams. My research focuses on developing algorithms for robots to solve problems in naturalistic and industrial environments, by enabling them to perceive, anticipate, adapt, and collaborate with people.

Research Interests: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Human-Robot Interaction
