I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland College Park. My home department is the Department Aerospace Engineering, and I am also affiliated with the Department of Computer Science by courtesy appointment, and a member of the Maryland Robotics Center. I am the Director of the Motion and Teaming Laboratory .
My lab does research on the design and analysis of algorithms, methods, and behaviors for autonomous robots and multi-agent systems. The core of our work has focused on finding answers to five overlapping research questions. These appear below, ordered by increasing generality. Each link will take you to a summary of our work in that area. How can multiple robots pool their computational resources to collectively solve their common problems? How can autonomous robots/vehicles efficiently replan in response
