Academic Achievements
- Started an online textbook, 'Artificial Intelligence for Computational Sustainability: A Lab Companion', with Doug Fisher, Bistra Dilkina, and Carla Gomes. This project aimed to supplement AI courses with assignments related to sustainability. Papers on this project were presented at AAAI'12 and Computational Sustainability 2012.
Research Experience
- Worked as a Senior Research Scientist at Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories leading several machine learning research projects. Also served as part-time faculty in computer science at Swarthmore College. Before joining Penn, he was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the computer science department at Bryn Mawr College.
Education
- Received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), focusing on artificial intelligence and machine learning. His dissertation was advised by Marie desJardins.
Background
- Primary research interests lie in the fields of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data mining with applications to robotics, search & rescue, environmental sustainability, and medicine. His research focuses on developing versatile AI systems that can learn multiple tasks over a lifetime of experience in complex environments, transfer learned knowledge to rapidly acquire new abilities, and collaborate effectively with humans and other agents through interaction.
Miscellany
- Currently a faculty member in the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania and a member of the GRASP (General Robotics, Automation, Sensing & Perception) lab.
