About Me

I am a PhD graduate from the University of Michigan where I specialized in artificial intelligence and cognitive architecture. My thesis work developed novel methods for robots to learn new tasks through natural language instruction, and I am continuing that work at the Center for Integrated Cognition.

I am passionate about teaching and just finished a two year term serving as a professor at the Université Chrétienne Bilingue du Congo in eastern DRC. There I worked to develop Congolese students into future engineers and leaders who can bring solutions to many of the challenges facing their country. Learn More.
