Bio

Hello, my name is Jonathan Diller!

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, working with Vijay Kumar and a member of the GRASP Laboratory. I earned my PhD in Robotics in 2025 at the Colorado School of Mines, where I was advised by Qi Han and was a member of the Pervasive Computing Systems (PeCS) research group. I also completed a master's degree in Computer Science at Mines in 2022 and a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, with minors in Mathematics and Mechatronics Technologies, at Penn State Harrisburg in 2020. Before beginning my academic career, I served in the United States Marine Corps for five years.

In my free time I enjoy skiing, golfing, hiking, and playing video games. I'm also an avid traveler and love to explore new places and try new foods.
