projects

Fundamental Research: I led research on open-world learning agents (DARPA SAIL-ON) and on teachable agents (DARPA GAILA). Both these efforts study how agents can adapt to new situations, post-deployment, without the need of taking them offline and re-training. I study the role of structured representations in resilient agent architectures and investigate how they can be manipulated or adapted efficiently on-the-fly autonomously and with human instruction.

Applications: I have built interactive, collaborative agents for a variety of domains including patient-centric, preventative healthcare, sustainable living, general purpose robots, and augmented reality.

A selection of these projects are accessible at CoCoA.
