Team

The people behind the loop.

CerebrumFlow is deliberately small. We are six researchers and engineers, each of us working across at least two of the four areas, so no one owns a single stage of the pipeline in isolation.

EV

Elena Vasquez

Director & Principal Investigator
PhD, Stanford University

Leads the lab and works on integrated perceive–plan–act architectures — the question of how the three stages ought to share a single representation.

ML

Marcus Lindqvist

Senior Research Scientist
PhD, ETH Zürich

Control theory and whole-body motion. Interested in learned policies that keep the stability guarantees classical control provides.

PR

Priya Raghavan

Research Scientist
PhD, Carnegie Mellon University

Scene understanding and predictive uncertainty — building representations a robot can reason over, and quantifying what it does not know.

DO

Daniel Okafor

Research Scientist
PhD, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

World models and sim-to-real transfer. Works on latent dynamics that let a robot plan against futures it has actually seen.

YT

Yuki Tanaka

Research Scientist
PhD, University of Tokyo

Motion planning and potential-field methods, with a focus on real-time behaviour in large, dynamic environments.

SW

Sarah Whitmore

Research Engineer
DPhil, University of Oxford

Systems, benchmarks, and open-source releases. Turns results into reproducible software and makes sure our claims can be checked.

We also host a rotating set of graduate interns and collaborate with university groups on individual projects. We are not currently hiring, but open academic collaborations are welcome — write to us through the contact on any of our papers.
