Biography
Education: BS CS Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 1980 BS EE Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 1980 MS EECS Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 1980 PhD EECS Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 1987 I teach and conduct research to solve problems that will make the world better: safer, healthier, and happier. Working with undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs, and other faculty, we develop robots to inspect trees for invasive insect pests, autonomous boats for monitoring lakes, or medical imaging to improve cancer and heart disease diagnoses and treatment. In my spare time I like to hike, bike, ski, canoe, and play frisbee.
