Welcome
I am a robotics engineer at Anybots Inc. working on all aspects of developing human capable teleoperated robots.
My previous experience spans work in both academic and industrial settings including autonomous underwater vehicles at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and intelligent decision making for automation at the Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute.
In 2007, I received my Master's degree in Computer and Systems Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where I did research on adaptive topology control of distrubted mobile sensor networks. As sensor nodes move, their limited radio power means that connectivity may be degraded or broken. My research focused on how to move a subset of nodes to maintain connectivity while the majority move according to their mission.
I received my Bachelor's degree in Physics from Lawrence University where I worked on AI problem solving using AIBO robots and sensory graph planning.
In 2005 I spent a semester studying at Kanda University in Makurari Japan.
