Maegan Tucker

Hi, my name is Maegan Tucker. I’m an incoming Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech (starting January 2024). My research is centered around achieving stable and user-preferred locomotion using formal methods from both nonlinear control theory and machine learning, with specific applications towards robotic assistive devices. Aside from my research, I am deeply passionate about furthering DEI efforts within the robotics community. If you are interested in discussing either my research, please reach out at mtucker@gatech.edu!
