Hello, I'm Harold.
I’m an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where I lead the Collaborative Learning and Adaptive Robots (CLeAR) lab. My research focuses on trustworthy embodied AI: developing reliable, fluent, and safe robots that people can depend on. Together with my team, I work across the full pipeline, from mathematical foundations and learning algorithms to robotic systems that work in the real world. Read more about my research and teaching, or get in touch.
