My Email Address

Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Lehigh University. My dissertation advisor is Professor John Spletzer and most days you will find me in the Vision, Assistive Devices, and Experimental Robotics (VADER) Lab hacking away on some Matlab or C/C++ code.

My research interests include: optimal coordination strategies for mobile robot teams, intelligent wireless sensor networks, hybrid network architectures, as well as sensory perception and estimation for real-time robotic applications.

What's New?

JINT Special Issue Acceptance (10.9.08)

Our paper, entitled "An Optimal Approach to Collaborative Target Tracking with Performance Guarantees", has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems: Special Issue on Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles. Check back soon for the final revision of the paper!

Summer 2008 @ Boston Dynamics (9.19.08)

This summer, I completed a software internship at Boston Dynamics. I worked as a member of the robotics group with my efforts directed towards developing a manual kinematic control system for a serpentine robot. BD is best known for their quadruped military mule, BigDog. Go BigDog Go!

The Sick LIDAR Matlab/C++ Toolbox (3.24.08)

Our group is pleased to announce the release of the Sick LIDAR Matlab/C++ Toolbox. The toolbox provides stable and easy-to-use C++ drivers and Matlab executable interfaces for Sick LMS and Sick LD LIDAR families. I am the primary project developer. You can download the latest release here!

Ben Completes the DARPA Urban Challenge! (11.03.07)

On November 3, 2007 Little Ben (our entry in the DARPA Urban Grand Challenge) was the fourth robot to complete the 60 mile course within the allotted time of 6 hours! In all, just six robots completed the race with Ben being the only Track B 'bot to do so! Click here to learn more!
