Hi

	I am a PhD candidate in the RPI Department of Computer Science. I am part of the Computer Science Robotics and Robotic Sensor Networks groups. My research interests include human-robot interaction, mobile sensor networks, and learning for sequential decision and estimation problems.

Current Projects

	In this project we are using information theoretic quantities to model coordination in human-robot interaction.
Rhythmic Interaction
	In this project we address the question of how mobile sensor nodes can form a connected network as quickly as possible.
Network Formation through Coverage

Past Projects

	This project studies the problem of designing robot controllers which minimize human stress
Human-Robot Interaction
	I spent the summer of 2005 working in the Engineering and systems division at SRI international. I worked on this project in the Telepresence Lab.
Traumapod
	This project investigates topological mapping of a polygonal environment by a mobile robot using a specific sensing model and a simple sensor feedback motions.
Mapping w/ gap sensing
	I worked on this project as an undergraduate, along with many other UofR students.
