bio

I lead the Adaptive Systems Section at the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence, part of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. I received my B.S. from Stanford University in Symbolic Systems, and my M.S. and Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University in Computer Science.

My work has primarily focused on ways in which humans and robots can effectively work together as teammates. The research involves issues of planning and execution, cognitive science, and team-based task coordination strategies.
