Paul Jansonnie

I am a PhD student working on robot learning for deformable object manipulation, currently focusing on dough. I am jointly supervised by Oleg Arenz & Jan Peters at the Intelligent Autonomous Systems lab, TU Darmstadt, and Seungsu Kim & Jean-Michel Renders at Naver Labs Europe, where I previously worked as a research engineer.

Before that, I earned master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering (M2 E3A) and in Machine Learning and Computer Vision (M2 MVA) from École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay.
