JEREMY CASTAGNO

I am a professor, computer scientist, and roboticist. I worked three years as a control systems engineer for Valero Energy specializing in safety systems. I later decided to pursue a PhD in robotics at the University of Michigan where I worked on urgent landing of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). My dissertation proposed utilizing machine learning with data sources such as city maps, satellite images, and airborne LiDAR point clouds to create risk-evaluated emergency landing site databases, including building rooftops. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Springfield College where I enjoy being apart of an energetic environment of learning and compassionate support... My area of expertise is in machine learning, simulation/modelling, and developing robust decision-making strategies. I enjoy programming in C++, Python, and using the Unreal Engine for simulations.
