Dr. Kevin McFall, an associate professor of  in the , and Dr. Mohammed Aledhari, assistant professor of  in the ,  to advance autonomous vehicle technology and train 石榴直播 undergraduate students to use it.

Dr. McFall, who also serves as assistant dean for research in SPCEET, explores research topics on autonomous vehicles and deep learning, directing numerous student teams to develop sensor systems and actuation control for self-driving cars and robots.

Dr. Aledhari, who is also director of the Smart and Autonomous Systems Center (SASC) at 石榴直播, has research interests in data science, machine learning, computer vision for medical imaging and autonomous systems, and big data problems in computational biology and bioinformatics.

Research Overview

Just about every new car today is sold with autonomous features like adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and automatic braking for collision avoidance. Autonomous vehicle technology combines sensors, control systems, mechanics, machine learning, and computer vision.

Dr. McFall and Dr. Aledhari combined their expertise to advance autonomous vehicle technology and improve transportation safety, convenience, and mobility for all. Their work is paving the way for more completely autonomous vehicles, and training undergraduate students to compete in the rapidly growing job market for robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence.
