Martin Matak I am a PhD student in the Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah. I am part of Utah Learning Lab for Manipulation Autonomy and am advised by Tucker Hermans. Focus of my PhD is on multifingered grasping and manipulation of everyday objects.

Previously, I earned my M.Sc. degree in Logic and Computation from TU Wien where I was advised by Georg Weissenbacher, and a B.Sc. degree in Computing from University of Zagreb.
