I am a part-time Computer Science PhD student at UMBC.
My other existence is at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), where I work in the Milton Eisenhower Research Center (MERC).

Current research interests
Planning in time-constrained domains
Collaboration/team forming/resource allocation in virtual worlds
Multi-level/distributed resource allocation
Planning & scheduling
Multi-agent systems
