Research interests

My research interests are in artificial intelligence, particularly in planning and scheduling, machine learning, genetic algorithms, multi-agent systems. Currently I am investigating multi-agent architectures for scheduling systems. My primary application interests are in the domain of manufacturing.

Research interest keywords

artificial intelligence, genetic algorithms, machine learning, manufacturing, multi-agent systems, planning, and scheduling

Past Labs & Groups

Intelligent Coordination and Logistics Laboratory - developing new theories, techniques and software technologies in planning, scheduling and control

Past Projects

Distributed Coordination of Resources - This project is investigating the issues associated with multi-agent resource coordination.

Federation of Intelligent Robotic Explorers Project - We are investigating and understanding fundamental issues in heterogeneous multi-robot coordination.
