Boce Hu     胡博策

I am a second-year PhD student in the Khoury College of Computer Science at Northeastern University, advised by Prof. Robert Platt in The Helping Hands Lab. Additionally, I am co-advised by Prof. Robin Walters on research in geometric deep learning and representation learning.

I'm passionate about enabling robots to perform self-reflection and innovation, developing perception, planning, and control algorithms for robotic manipulation in unstructured environments.
