|
|
September, 1998 --
Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University.
Post-Doctoral Fellow: performing research and software development in the area of Knowledge Based Planning and Scheduling, Mixed-Initiative Problem Solving, and Reconfigurable Software Architectures. Working in the design and implementation of the Barrel Resource Allocator for Air Mobility Command.
September, 1991 to August, 1998 --
Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University.
Graduate research assistant: worked on the design and development of knowledge based decision support systems applied to planning and scheduling for manufacturing, transportation, and logistics.
Applications:
1999-2000: one of the main system architect and algorithm designer in the design and development of an application to support for Air Mobility Command's daily operations and resource allocation.
1996-98: developed prototype schedulers to support USTRANSCOM multi-modal transportation activities during strategic deployment and crisis situations.
1996: developed a prototype tool for air campaign planning and analysis. This prototype acted as a scheduler agent in a multi-agent planning platform developed by SRI.
1995: designed and implemented a planning and scheduling prototype for medical evacuation in crisis situation.
1994: modified an existing scheduling system to support reactive scheduling for army surface movement.
1993-94: implemented algorithms to provide generative and reactive scheduling capabilities for modified versions of the job shop problems.

Master of Science in Computer Engineering and Computer Science, Dec. 1990.
Master Thesis Title: “A Parallel Automatic Theorem Prover Implementation”
Description: This thesis describes an automatic theorem prover implemented to solve logic problems using AND-parallelism in a multi-processor, shared memory architecture.
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Dec. 1986.
Undergraduate Final Project: “The impact of government contracts on the aeronautical industry”
Description: This work analyzes how the aeronautical industry depends on government contracts for its survival and how they use these funds to subsidize their private sector contracts.
