Andrew Wilhelm is a PhD Candidate in the Napp Lab, joining in Fall 2020 after receiving his BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Andrew’s research focuses on automating and optimizing the robot design process, leveraging both traditional optimization methods such as constraint programming and modern techniques like large language models (LLMs).

When he’s not in the lab, Andrew’s probably backpacking in the wilderness, cooking up a new recipe, windsurfing on Cayuga Lake, or exploring a new country.
