Chrisantus Eze
I'm a Computer Science PhD student at the Robotic Cognition Lab in Oklahoma State University advised by Christopher Crick. My research focuses on long-horizon planning and spatial reasoning for robot manipulation, integrating learning-based and model-based approaches.
I am a fourth year PhD student at Oklahoma State University working on robot learning. I received my B.Eng. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from FUTO, Nigeria, and immediately after graduation, I joined Seamfix Limited as a Software Engineer where I worked for three years. My research agenda are in robotics and AI. My work focuses on long-horizon planning, spatial reasoning, foundation models (VLMs, VLAs), computer vision, and imitation learning to enable robots to acquire and transfer robust manipulation skills in complex environments.
