I have a B.A. in computer science from U.C., Berkeley in 1988 and a
Ph.D. in machine learning and robotics from Cambridge University in 1996. I am Associate
Professor of Informatics at Indiana University (2005–). I was previously Assistant Professor
(1997–2000) and Associate Professor (2003–) at Osaka University. I have published
more than 40 papers in robotics, machine learning, and cognitive science.
