Aaron Becker
Aaron Becker's passion is robotics & control. As a Full Prof. in Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Houston, he is building a robotics lab. An NSF '16 CAREER recipient & winner of several best papers, his lab manipulates micro-scale swarms with magnetic fields, navigates robotic tools using medical MRIs, kills mosquitos with drones, searches for oil, and assembles structures with swarms.
Previously as '23 Alexander von Humboldt Fellow he studied algorithms for self-assembly in Braunschweig Germany. As a '13 Research Fellow with Boston Children's Hospital & Harvard Medical School, he implemented robotics powered and controlled by the magnetic field of an MRI. As a '12 Rice University Postdoc in the Multi-Robot Systems Lab, Aaron investigated control of distributed systems and nanorobotics with experts in the fields. Aaron earned his PhD in Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
