I have been a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, and the University of Southern California (USC). At USC, I am currently a Professor Emeritus of Computer Science. Before I retired, I was also Director for Cognitive Architecture research at the Institute for Creative Technologies. I have pursued research in artificial intelligence for most of the last 45 years, focused on integrated cognition/intelligence; that is, on how to combine the core mechanisms necessary to yield general human-like intelligence. I have also explored how to better understand the relevant disciplines of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and computer science. I am a Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, the Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Cognitive Science Society.
