Research interests

I am currently involved in coordinating multi-robot teams to assist first responders. I am working to develop scalable algorithms for finding non-adversarial targets in cluttered environments. I am also interested in developing techniques for localizing and tracking moving first responders in disaster scenarios. To accomplish these tasks, I am employing techniques from multi-agent systems, machine learning, and probabilistic robotics. By examining autonomous agents in extremely complex scenarios, I hope to better understand the fundamentals behind perception, action, intelligence, and (even) consciousness.
