Chelsea is an Assistant Professor at Stanford University. Her lab, IRIS, studies intelligence through robotic interaction at scale, and is affiliated with SAIL and the Statistical ML Group. I also spend time at Google as a part of the Google Brain team. Her research deals with the capability of robots and other agents to develop broadly intelligent behavior through learning and interaction.
