We are recruiting for PhD researchers for Fall 2026 starts. Please apply to the Dartmouth CS PhD program at the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies and mention your interest in our PI and lab to ensure full consideration. Applications are due December 15, 2025!
The A²R Lab focuses on optimizing robotic systems at all scales by developing, optimizing, implementing, and evaluating next-generation algorithms and edge computational systems, through algorithm-hardware-software co-design (e.g., MPCGPU, GRiD, TinyMPC). As such, our research is at the intersection of Robotics and Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Numerical Optimization, and Machine Learning.
We also want to promote a responsible, sustainable, and accessible future for robotics and edge computing, including the development of new interdisciplinary, project-based, open-access courses that lower the barriers to entry for cutting-edge topics like robotics, parallel programming, and embedded machine learning (e.g., Global TinyML Education, Parallel Optimization for Robotics).
