I have moved to the University of Edinburgh (UK) as a Chair in Robot Systems in the School of Informatics. Please see my current home page for updates and contact me at: m [dot] sridharan [at] ed [dot] ac [dot] uk. I was previously a Reader in the
School of Computer Science at the
University of Birmingham (UK), where I currently hold an honorary position as a professor. Prior to that, I held academic appointments at the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at
The University of Auckland (NZ), and at
Texas Tech University (USA). I received my Ph.D. in
Electrical and Computer Engineering from
The University of Texas at Austin.
My primary research interests include knowledge representation and reasoning, cognitive systems, and interactive learning as applied to adaptive robots and agents. I develop architectures and algorithms that enable robots to collaborate with non-expert human participants, acquiring and using sensor inputs and high-level human feedback based on need and availability. Furthermore, I am interested in developing algorithms for estimation and prediction problems in application domains such as agricultural irrigation management, intelligent transportation, and climate informatics. Please contact me if you need any further information regarding my research, teaching or outreach activities.
