Bio

My name is Andrew Schwartzwald, and I'm a senior in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Minnesota, minoring in Computer Science. I am currently researching the application of reinforcement learning on robotic platforms in the Center for Distributed Robotics under Professor Nikos Papanikolopoulos.

My interests include machine learning, computer vision, UAV design, and power-efficient robot control. My interest in robotics started when I joined UMN Robotics and had the opportunity to compete in the NASA Robotic Mining Competition. Last summer I was an intern at Digi Labs where I worked on agricultural robots. In addition to programming projects, I enjoy art: painting, photography, and making comics.
