Ph.D. 1995, SUNY Watson School, Binghamton, NY
M.S. 1992, B.S. 1988, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Research Interests
Developing and implementing automation, sensor fusion, nonlinear modeling, controllers and user-friendly interfaces which isolate, track, diagnose, and predict incomplete or corrupted real-time signals in uncertain environments. Tools have included statistics, neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, deterministic chaos, wavelets, stochastic Petri nets, frequency clustering, and intelligent agents. She has implemented solutions for semiconductors, military, plastics, aerospace, transportation, medical, energy, mining, infrastructure, and anyone with vulnerable software or hardware.
