Kevin Rose

About Me I am currently a research assistant at the University of New Hampshire. I have recently graduated with a M.S. in Computer Science. I am a member of the UNH Artificial Intelligence Research Group. I am working with Professor Wheeler Ruml in the area of heuristic search. I received my B.S. in Computer Science from UNH in 2010. While an undergraduate, I was member of the UNH Men's Ski Team. I still occasionally help out with the team and even compete in cross country ski races every now and then. My CV can be found here.

Research Interests

Current and past topics that I have done research on appear here.

• Robot Motion Planning

  The topic of my master's thesis was real-time motion planning for mobile robots moving in the presence of unpredictable dynamic obstacles. The research involved using heuristic search and sampling-based approaches to plan paths in real-time.

• Constraint Satisfaction Problems

  I spent the summer of 2009 in Cork, Ireland doing research thanks to a grant from the UNH IROP program. I worked at the Cork Constraint Computation Centre using heuristic tree search to solve constraint satisfaction problems.

• Scientific Databases

  During the summer of 2008 I worked with the UNH Scientific Database Research Group on implementing a regression test suite for the Granite database software. I also worked on implementing support for time-series representations of scientific data and associating metadata with the database.
