Career Opportunities:
The success of our graduate students in industry and higher education reflects the excellence of the School of EECS and its programs. In industry, our graduate degree holders are presidents, CEOs, CIOs, vice presidents, directors, and division and department managers. Some have founded at least one company and initiated and promoted new technologies, operations and sales strategies. Others have excelled as senior designers, project managers, senior scientists, and lead engineers. In higher education, they are professors, deans, and research directors. Graduate degrees have enriched their lives and careers, while affecting positively the economy of the state and nation. All are excellent role models for their peers and our students.

Research Interests
My research focuses on agents, physical or virtual entities that interact with their environments. My main goals are to enable individual agents, and teams of agents, to learn tasks in real world environments that are not fully known when the agents are designed; perform multiple tasks, rather than just a single task; and
allow agents to robustly coordinate with, and reason about, other agents.
Additionally, I am interested in exploring how agents can learn from humans, whether the human is explicitly teaching the agent, the agent is passively observing the human, or the agent is actively cooperating with the human on a task.
