About Me

I am a PhD graduate from the University of Michigan where I specialized in artificial intelligence and cognitive architecture. My thesis work developed novel methods for robots to learn new tasks through natural language instruction.

I am passionate about teaching and just finished a two year term serving as a professor at the Université Chrétienne Bilingue du Congo in eastern DRC with the goal of developing Congolese students into future engineers and leaders who can bring solutions to many of the challenges facing their country.
