Collaborated to achieve the first implement of Navigation Among Movable Obstacles on robot hardware. Developed an elementary fusion of motion planning and control for the autonomous execution of high level tasks by a humanoid robot. (With Dr. K. Nishiwaki and Dr. S. Kagami)

Designed algorithms for the control of a human scale pneumatic biped robot. Worked closely with Dr. T. Blackwell on improving the design of the robot and the supporting architecture based on experimental evaluation of controls.

Participated in the development of software to exploit the structure inherent in a set of logical axioms to improve the efficiency of automated reasoning. (for Prof. E. Amir & Prof. J. McCarthy)

Research and Development in the Department of Artificial Intelligence. Constructed graphical software for applying Bayesian Networks and Kalman Filtering for automated tracking of aerial vehicles.

Maintained corporate website/intranet and introduced a system of tracking affiliate clients. Designed CGI/JSP software elements to interact with client databases.
