معرفی
David Feil-Seifer is a Professor of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. He serves as the Founding Director of the Autonomous Robotics Center of Nevada (ARCoN) and Graduate Director for the Robotics M.S. program. He holds a B.S. from the University of Rochester, and M.S./Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, with postdoctoral training at Yale University.
His research focuses on Socially Assistive Robotics (SAR), socially-aware navigation, and long-term human-robot interaction. Key projects include AI solutions for speech-language pathology shortages, socially-aware navigation in public spaces, and robotics for post-stroke rehabilitation and autism support.
His publications primarily explore human-robot interaction frameworks, educational robotics, and machine learning applications in healthcare and environmental monitoring. Recent work shows strong emphasis on accessible robotics education and healthcare applications.
