The Robotics Institute

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology in 2004. I received my Masters of Science in Space Systems from Florida Institute of Technology in 1995. I was a Submarine Navigation Electronics Technician in the US Navy and served on the Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) Submarines USS Lewis and Clark (SSBN 644) and USS George C. Marshall (SSBN 654). I also served on the FBM Submarine Tender USS Simon Lake (AS 33) when it was stationed in Kings Bay, GA. I served on the Launch Area Support Ship (LASS) USNS Range Sentinel stationed in Cape Canaveral Florida where I was involved in the support of U.S. and U.K. submarine missile launches on the Eastern Test Range. While stationed in Cape Canaveral I also served on the USNS Vanguard. The Vanguard supported the testing of navigation equipment that was in use, or was to be used, on board Navy submarines.
