About Me
My name is Sihui Li. Here is a pronunciation of my name.
I'm an assistant professor of computer science at Washington State University Tri-Cities. I joined WSU in Fall 2024. I reveiced my PhD degree in computer science from Colorado School of Mines, where I worked with Dr. Dantam in the DyALab. Before that, I have a Master's degree in Robotics from WPI and a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from RPI.
Location: Floyd 134D, Tri-Cities campus.
My research focuses on robot planning algorithms, combined with learning techniques, aiming to enhance the autonomy and efficiency of robotic systems. One area of my work involves investigating motion planning infeasibility proofs in a robot’s configuration space, which is crucial for understanding and addressing the limitations of robot’s movement in task and motion planning in complex environments. Given that the effectiveness of any robotic system hinges on the algorithms that control its hardware and sensors, one of my central goals is to develop robust, broadly applicable, and theoretically complete algorithms.
