His research interests include modeling and analysis of operational settings involving unmanned systems, notably information gathering and sensor fusion for search and detection missions using probabilistic and optimization models. Combining algorithm development with field experimentation, active research pursuits include systems design of large teams of cooperating and adversarial robots. Such efforts involve integration of modeling, algorithms, hardware, simulation, human factors, and control, leveraging extensive research collaborations. He received a Ph.D. and M.S. at the California Institute of Technology in mechanical engineering and a B.S. in mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University. Monday, December 7
