Welcome to my web page. I am currently an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas.
My research interests are in controls in robotics. I have a focus on vision based estimation and control for robots and autonomous vehicles. Naturally, my research includes computer vision and nonlinear control. I am also interested in active and adaptive sensor placement and visualization systems, such as virtual reality. A short presentation of my research, including videos, can be found at the bottom of this page. I received my Bachelor's of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio in May of 1999. I earned my Master's of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and my Ph.D. in Systems and Entrepreneurial Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in December, 2005, under Dr. Seth Hutchinson. Prior to joining UT Dallas, I was a Postdoc at the University of Florida. I worked closely with the Nonlinear Control and Robotics group, with Dr. Warren Dixon. Following that, I was a Postdoctoral Associate at the National Research Council, funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory at Eglin Air Force Base. In my free time I enjoy running, and have completed seven marathons (albeit slowly) in seven states.
