Jonathan is a Ph.D. student in Robotics at the Colorado School of Mines. He is a member of the Pervasive Computing Systems (PeCS) research group under the guidance of Dr. Qi Han. He earned an M.S. degree in Computer Science at Mines in 2022 and a B.S. degree in Computer Science at Penn State Harrisburg in 2020. Jonathan's research focuses on designing self-aware high-level planning and coordination algorithms for heterogenous multi-cyber systems. He serves as the Computer Science department representative in the graduate student government and is heavily involved in his community at Mines, including organizing student-led research seminars, helping organize a research symposium at the university, and serving on various committees as a graduate student advocate.
My research focuses on designing self-aware high-level planning and coordination algorithms for heterogenous multi-cyber systems. By self-aware, we mean aware of how the cyber system’s actions impact the status of its systems, how the environment impacts the actions of a cyber system, and how the actions of individual cyber systems impact their ability to interact with each other. Examples include being aware of how the actions of a robot reduce the robot’s battery or the ability of a drone to communicate with a wireless sensor. I seek to find general solutions that can be applied to a variety of cyber-physical systems applications including environment monitoring, security and surveillance, and disaster response.
