Background

About Brian Highfill

My primary interest is in the design and implementation of intelligent software for embedded control systems. Through my graduate education, I have studied a variety of disciplines related to artificial intelligence which have led to master’s degrees in both computer engineering and electrical engineering. As a result, I have learned a diverse set of analytical problem-solving skills developing software and hardware systems. I am excited to apply techniques of modern machine learning to impart complex systems with the ability to reason logically and to automatically perform better with experience. I wish to use my engineering skills to work on embedded systems that utilize techniques such as adaptive signal processing of sensory measurements to control, analyze and to make real-time decisions interactively with other engineered systems and physical processes. I am particularly interested in applications of machine learning used to estimate, model and control physical systems. I am excited to develop and improve software for intelligent controls which can adapt to changing system-dynamics and learn to improve performance.
