What's new here?

We will be at RoboCup-2013 and FIRA-2013, in Eindhoven, Netherlands and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, respectively. See the galleries on the Lab Website for previous competitions.

I was one of the 2012 recpients of the Student-Teacher Recognition Award - it was a really touching event. Thanks to UTS for putting it on and Derek Cormier for nominating me.

You might be looking for information regarding our newly-reopened Coursework M.Sc. Program, slides from my seminar on grad school for students or information about our policies for faculty.

Our Lab Website always has the most up-to-date research information.

Welcome!

(Technically, 'Welcome to my public_html directory', but that sounds nerdy)

I am a Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Manitoba. I am also the head of the department. My office is 476 E2 in the Engineering and Information Technology Complex. You can check out the view if the webcam is on.

I do Research in Multiagent and Multirobot Systems, Autonomous Agents, Robotics, and related areas of Artificial Intelligence. The page for my laboratory has more information about this. I also dabble in Lots of Other Things.

I also, not surprisingly, Teach here. Most of the courses you'll find me in are in my research area or in other software related areas, but I do cover other areas as needed.

I am also involved with the University in a number of other ways. I am a member of the University of Manitoba Senate representing Science, a member of Senate Executive, and I am a member of the University Discipline Committee of the Board of Governors. I was chair of this committee for three years, stepping down when I assumed the headship of CS.

With the time I have left over, there is still Much that Keeps Me Busy.

Despite the apparent minimalism, there is a fair bit here. Feel free to explore at your leisure (and note the Usual Disclaimers). Commentary from regular (and irregular) viewers is always welcome.
