Prithviraj (Raj) Dasgupta is a computer engineer in the Distributed Systems Section, Information Technology Division at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington D.C. His research interests are in the areas of artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, game theory and machine learning. From 2001 through 2019, he was a professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Nebraska, Omaha, where he had founded and directed the CMANTIC Robotics Lab. His lab received federal funding of over $4 million and established successful, funded multi-university collaborations across multiple disciplines including mechanical and electrical engineering, surgery and biomechanics. He has published over 150 papers in leading journals and conferences in his area and serves on the program committee of major AI conferences including AAAI, IJCAI, and AAMAS; IEEE conferences ICRA, IROS, and ICARSC; and regularly reviews manuscripts for premier journals in the areas of machine learning, multi-agent systems and robotics. He has mentored several Ph.D., Masters and undergraduate students and has continued involvement in STEM mentoring activities for high school students. Dr. Dasgupta is a senior member of IEEE. He received the highest research award from the University of Nebraska, Omaha, called ADROCA, in 2017. He received his Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara and his B. Engg. in Computer Science from Jadavpur University, India.
Joseph B. Collins heads the Intelligent Distributed Systems Section in the Information Management & Decision Architectures Branch of the Information Technology Division at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Brown University and has worked at NRL for over 30 years where he has investigated, designed and developed intelligent decision support systems as components of Navy simulation, command and control, and test and evaluation architectures.
