Research that works in the wild<\/h2>\n

I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University, with a courtesy appointment in Electrical and Computer Engineering. My work sits where mechanical systems, sensing, artificial intelligence, and real-world use meet.<\/p>\n

I direct the DeepTech Lab. We build systems that listen to machines, learn from limited data, support decisions, and close loops automatically or with human oversight.<\/p>\n

Biography and recognition<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Impossible yesterday. Boring tomorrow.<\/h2>\n

Deep technology is most valuable when the hard part disappears into something dependable, affordable, and ordinary. I work across research, teaching, invention, and entrepreneurship to help that happen.<\/p>\n

Research<\/h3>

Acoustic diagnostics, connected vehicles, robotics, sensing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and decision support.<\/p><\/div>

Teaching<\/h3>

University courses, research experiences, and professional programs for engineers, entrepreneurs, executives, and technical leaders.<\/p><\/div>

Translation<\/h3>

Patents, datasets, standards, startups, sponsored research, and independent advisory work that move ideas toward practice.<\/p><\/div>\n

DeepTech Lab<\/p>\n

Students and researchers building on real machines<\/h2>\n
\"DeepTech
DeepTech Lab, 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Current work brings together postdoctoral, doctoral, and undergraduate researchers across four connected areas.<\/p>\n

Acoustic diagnostics<\/h3>

What if a cheap microphone could hear a machine going bad?<\/strong><\/p>

We build models that learn from fewer, shorter samples and lower-diversity data. That means you do not need to capture as many costly failures to build something that works.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Embedded expertise<\/h3>

Decision support that turns observations into recommendations, warnings, and actions.<\/p><\/div>

Robotics and automation<\/h3>

Sensing, models, and control tested on real equipment.<\/p><\/div>

Connected vehicles<\/h3>

Using the signals vehicles already produce to understand condition, context, safety, and interaction.<\/p><\/div>\n

New in 2026<\/p>\n

Acoustic monitoring that travels better<\/h2>\n

New work addresses two practical weaknesses in machine listening: performance that changes with the recording device, and quality scores that hide their uncertainty. A new open dataset adds multiple tools, sessions, locations, and commodity microphones so researchers can test those problems directly.<\/p>\n
