Sabine Hauert is Professor of Swarm Engineering in the Bristol Robotics Laboratory at the University of Bristol[1] where her research investigates swarm robotics. Previously she worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland.[2]

Education

Hauert was educated at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) where she was awarded Bachelor of Science, Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.[2] During her study she participated in a student exchange program at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).[2] Her PhD on aerial swarm robotics was supervised by Dario Floreano and Jean-Christophe Zufferey and awarded in 2010.[3] [4]

Career and research

Hauert's research investigates swarm intelligence, robotics, nanomedicine and cancer.[5] Her work has appeared in Nature,[6] Science,[7] the European Parliament,[2] the Royal Society[7] [8] and featured in mainstream media including the BBC,[9] CNN,[10] The Guardian,[11] The Economist,[12] TEDx,[13] Wired,[14] and New Scientist.[15] Hauert is president and co-founder of robohub.org, a nonprofit organization and online communication platform that brings together experts in robotics research, start-ups, business and education from across the globe.[16]

Hauert served as a member of the working group on machine learning at the Royal Society from 2015 to 2017.[8] [17] [18]

Awards and honours

Hauert was a member of the team that won first place at the RoboCup US Open in 2005.[2] She was a selectee at the 63rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in 2013 and was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT by the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) in 2011.[2]
