Masters student Jeremy Muesing’s paper “Fully Bayesian Human-Machine Data Fusion for Robust Dynamic Target Surveillance and Characterization” (co-authors: Luke Burks; Michael Iuzzolino; Danielle Szafir; Nisar Ahmed) has been accepted to the 2019 InfoTech@Aerospace Conference at AIAA SciTech Forum in San Diego — congratulations, Jeremy!

Aerospace student Luke Burks has successfully passed the comprehensive exam for his thesis, “Active Collaborative Sensing, Learning, and Planning in Human-Robot Teams”, and is now officially a PhD candidate — congratulations, Luke!

The COHRINT Lab will present 3 new papers at international conferences this summer :

“Flexible Semantic Human-Robot Sensing in Unknown Environments using Dynamic Information Gathering Policies,” by L. Burks and N. Ahmed (2018 ICRA RT-DUNE Workshop, Brisbane, Australia);

“Closed-loop Bayesian Semantic Data Fusion for Collaborative Human-Autonomy Target Search,” by L. Burks, I. Loefgren, L. Barbier, J. Muesing, J. McGinley, S. Vunnam, and N.Ahmed (FUSION 2018, Cambridge, UK);

“Weak in the NEES?: Auto-tuning Kalman Filters with Bayesian Optimization,” by Z. Chen, C. Heckman, S. Julier, and N. Ahmed (FUSION 2018, Cambridge, UK);

Aero PhD student Jonathan Manni was recently awarded a Draper Fellowship, among the first ever cohort of CU students to be named Draper Fellows — congratulations, Jonathan!

Aero PhD student Steve McGuire passed his Aerospace PhD Comprehensive Exam, and is now officially a PhD candidate — congratulations, Steve! 

PhD student Brett Israelsen has passed his PhD Comprehensive Exam in Computer Science, and is now officially a PhD candidate — congratulations, Brett! 

PhD student Luke Burks’ submission, “Optimal Continuous State POMDP Planning with Semantic Observations”, has been accepted to and will appear in the 2017 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control in Melbourne, Australia this December — congratulations Luke!
