Gregory S. Chirikjian

Gregory Scott Chirikjian (born 1966) is an American roboticist and applied mathematician, primarily working in the field of kinematics, motion planning, computer vision, group theory applications in engineering, and the mechanics of macromolecules. He currently serves as the head and professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Delaware. He is known for his theoretical contributions to the kinematics of hyper-redundant (snake-like and continuum) robots and stochastic methods on Lie groups. Provided by Wikipedia
