Research Interests
My primary research interests are in the areas of multiagent systems and agent organizations, autonomous robotics and intelligent systems.  I also have an extensive background in software engineering and development.

Bio
I have a varied background and spent 14 years in industrial and commercial software development before coming to academia.  I have a B.S. in Computer Science from Kansas State University, M.B.A. in Operations Management from Ohio State University, M.S.E. in Software Engineering from Kansas State University and a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Cincinnati.
