Research Interests:
My current research is mostly in applied functional data analysis. Specifically, regression models where at least one of the predictors or the response are functions. I have also done some work on curve registration. My research usually involves techniques from semiparametric regression, especially penalized regression splines. Past work has involved time series analysis; specifically various types of GARCH models. Previous areas of application have included diffusion tensor imaging, forecasting emergency medical service call arrival rates, and financial time series.

Research Interests:
My work is focused on improving group behaviors in multi-agent systems by incorporating motion planning techniques with an agent-based approach. In our system, agents can have a range of behaviors, capabilities, levels of communication, knowledge of the environment and coordination . We investigate how agents can work cooperatively to perform tasks, plan paths in dynamic environments, and influence other groups of agents in an environment. The specific applications I have worked on are pursuit-evasion scenarios, evacuation behaviors and shepherding techniques. I have also worked on adapting various motion planning algorithms to produce more efficient and effective algorithms for path planning in high dimensional space.

Research Interests:
Howdy! I work in the Parasol Lab with Dr. Nancy Amato. Our group develops randomized motion planning algorithms than can be applied to many different areas such as: mobile robots, virtual prototyping, computational biology and computational neuroscience. My research focus is on motion planning algorithms and their application to computational biology.
