Michael S. Ryoo Ph.D. SUNY Empire Innovation Associate Professor AI Institute; Department of Computer Science Stony Brook University Google DeepMind Contact Instructions for students mryoo-at-cs.stonybrook.edu |
As of September 2019, I joined the Department of Computer Science (CS) at Stony Brook University as an associate professor. I also am with the robotics team at Google DeepMind as a research scientist. Previously, I was an assistant professor at Indiana University Bloomington, and was a staff researcher within the Robotics Section of the NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). I received my Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in 2008 and B.S. from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2004.
