For a junior high science fair, I built a “machine” that played a variation of Tic Tac Toe. So naturally I went on to a career in Artificial Intelligence. After receiving my B.A. from Harvard, I went down the street to get a Ph.D. at MIT. I spent many years as a professor, most recently at University College Cork in Ireland. Back home in Cambridge, I became an Associate of the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and am delighted to become a member of the Winthrop House Senior Common Room.

I am a recipient of the IJCAI Award for Research Excellence, and both the Research Excellence Award and the Distinguished Service Award of the Association for Constraint Programming, a Member of the Royal Irish Academy, and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, and the European Association for Artificial Intelligence.

I very much look forward to interacting with others in Winthrop House.
