Manuela Veloso
Manuela M. Veloso (* 1957 ) is a Portuguese-US-American computer scientist who deals with machine learning , artificial intelligence and robotics .
Veloso studied electrical engineering at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon with a master's degree in 1984 and computer science from Boston University with a master's degree in 1986. She received her doctorate in 1992 from Carnegie Mellon University under Jaime Carbonell (Learning by Analogical Reasoning in General Purpose Problem Solving ), became Assistant Professor in 1992, Associate Professor in 1997 and Professor in 2002 (Herbert A. Simons Professor from 2006 and University Professor from 2014).
It deals with the effective construction of autonomous robotic systems and multi-agent systems including learning algorithms for them. This was used, among other things, in robots in the RoboCup competitions.
She was visiting professor at MIT in 1999/2000 and at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard in 2006/07. She is a Fellow of AAAI , the Association for Computing Machinery , the IEEE, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science .
In 2009 she received the ACM / SIGART Autonomous Agents Research Award.
