About me: I am
an
autonomous systems control
research
engineer specializing in
intelligent robot control and machine learning related to
robotics. One of my primary research
interests is in Evolutionary
Robotics. I also pursue a
parallel career as an artist (see link to artwork). I
received my Ph.D.
in electrical
engineering from North Carolina State University (NCSU) in 2003.
During my studies I conducted research applying artificial evolution to
create
control
systems for small mobile robots (see press coverage at TRNmag)
at the Center for Robotics and
Autonomous
Machines (CRIM). Currently I am working with a
cross-disciplinary research and consulting organization (Androtics, LLC). The main focus of this
organization is on applying new technologies
from the areas of chemistry, robotics, and
computer
science toward green manufacturing,
environmental remediation and autonomous sustainable systems. My work
focuses on robotics, intelligent
autonomous systems, and applications of soft computing methods. (see
research interests).
