Biography

Glen Chou is an assistant professor at Georgia Tech in the College of Computing, within the School of Cybersecurity & Privacy (SCP), and in the College of Engineering, within the School of Aerospace Engineering (AE). He joined Georgia Tech in November 2024. Glen directs the Trustworthy Robotics Lab, which focuses on the design of algorithms that can enable general-purpose robots and autonomous systems to operate capably, safely, and securely, while remaining resilient to real-world failures and uncertainty. To achieve this, the lab leverages control theory and machine learning, while connecting to optimization, perception, formal methods, motion planning, human-robot interaction, and statistics. Glen received dual B.S. degrees in EECS and ME from UC Berkeley in 2017 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in ECE from the University of Michigan in 2019 and 2022, respectively. Prior to joining Georgia Tech in 2024, Glen spent two years as a postdoc at MIT CSAIL.
