Chuchu Chen
Assistant Professor · Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The George Washington University, where I lead the EPIC LAB.
I completed my Ph.D. in the Robot Perception and Navigation Group (RPNG) at the University of Delaware, advised by Prof. Guoquan (Paul) Huang✦Best advisor in the universe; reviewed by me, my dog, and at least three aliens.
I work on state estimation and perception for robotics and extended reality (XR), with the goal of helping machines understand their motion and surroundings well enough to interact reliably with the physical world.
My research combines probabilistic sensing, multi-sensor fusion, and real-time perception, with an emphasis on consistency, physical grounding, and long-term reliability. At a foundational level, I study embodied intelligence and physical AI, exploring how sensing, computation, and physical motion jointly define what an intelligent system can infer in practice.
