Henrik Christensen, Director Institute of Contextual Robotics, UC San Diego Henrik I Christensen is the director of Contextual Robotics Institute at UC San Diego and also a Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Prior to this he served as the executive director of the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines at Georgia Tech. Dr. Christensen was initially trained in Mechanical Engineering and worked subsequently with MAN/BW Diesel. He earned M.Sc. and Ph.D. EE degrees from Aalborg University, 1987 and 1990, respectively.  Upon graduation Dr. Christensen has participated in a large number of international research projects across 4 continents. He has held positions at Aalborg University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Royal Institute of Technology before joining Georgia Tech.  Dr. Christensen does research on robotics with a particular emphasis on a systems perspective to the problem. Solutions must have a strong theoretical basis, a corresponding well-defined implementation and it must be evaluated in realistic settings. There is a strong emphasis on “real systems for real applications!”
