hello

My name is Omar Rayyan and I'm a senior at NYU Abu Dhabi majoring in EECS. My research interest is at the intersection of robotics and machine learning.

I am currently working with Mahi Shafiullah from NYU's GRAIL Lab and with Prof. Garg from Georgia Tech's PAIR Lab. Previously, I interned at Google's Space Control team in Munich.
