Dr Shan Luo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering at King’s College London, where he leads the Robot Perception Lab (RPL). Shan received a Ph.D. from King’s College London for his work on robotic perception through tactile images. In 2016, he visited the MIT Computer and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Leeds and Harvard University, followed by a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) position at the University of Liverpool from 2018 to 2021. His current research focuses on developing intelligent robots capable of safe and agile interaction with the physical environment. His primary interests lie in visuo-tactile sensors, machine learning models for visual and tactile representation learning, and robotic manipulation of challenging objects like deformable and transparent items. He received the EPSRC New Investigator Award in 2021 and a UK-RAS Early Career Award in 2023.
