I was recently a Senior Computer Scientist with BBN Technologies, Cambridge, MA, in the Intelligent Computing Business Unit, Human Centered Systems Group. White there I was a technical contributor to DARPA/IPTO's Integrated Learning Program. I was previously involved with the deviation analysis portion of DARPA/IXO’s JAGUAR Program. Prior to coming to BBN, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, College of Engineering & Computer Science at Wright State University. I was also director of COLAB², the Collaboration and Cognition Laboratory at Wright State. I finished a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. I examined mixed-initiative planning in large scale domains using the PRODIGY framework. Before that position, I worked on my PhD at Georgia Tech and developed the Meta-AQUA introspective multistrategy learning system.

I have research interests in multistrategy learning, case-based reasoning , mixed-initiative planning, and computational introspection . In particular, I am interested in how goals affect intelligent behavior across all these processes.
