Research

My research aims to understand human-level intelligence and create it in computers.

Background

I received a bachelor's degree in mathematics from MIT and a master's degree in psychology from Stanford.  I studied artificial intelligence in Marvin Minsky's group at the MIT Media Laboratory, where I received my Ph.D.  I was then an NRC postdoctoral associate at the Naval Research Laboratory's AI Center for two years.  I have been on the faculty of the Cognitive Science Department at Rensselaer since then.
