My research focuses on autonomy, perception, field robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence. I direct the Autonomous Robotics and Perception Group, a dynamic and close-knit research team aiming to develop practical and explainable techniques in probabilistic artificial intelligence. My work in computer vision, machine learning and sensor fusion has applications to intelligence, defense, and environmental monitoring. Also, my robotics work is used by both government and industry partners in the development of autonomous vehicles, agricultural platforms and other mobile robots including for medicine, search & rescue, and automation.
