Jon Michaux

I am a PhD graduate from the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. I am currently seeking opportunities for a Research Scientist position in industry. Previously, I earned a Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Chicago, where I was advised by Prof. Ed Munro. I also hold a B.A. in Maths from Wayne State University, where I worked with Prof. David Rueda.
