Henry Che

I am a thesis-based Masters student at UIUC working on robotics. I am advised by Prof. Shenlong Wang and supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

Before that, I graduated from UIUC with a B.S. in ECE. I also spent half a year as a research intern at Waabi, working on self-driving with Jingkang Wang and Prof. Raquel Urtasun.

My research interests is in robotics and autonomous driving. My dream is to build robots that can safely navigate and interact with our world and make our daily lives easier.
