MacArthur awards for 2007 have been announced. Seattle scores two, Yoky Matsuoka (right here in my own department!) and Mark Roth at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. My old alma mater (“nourishing mother?”) Caltech received two awards, and my grad school alma mater Berkeley received one.
I think I am begining to understand why I have an inferiority complex.
Roto was a contemporary of ours – class of ’94 in Ricketts.
Perhaps you could comment on the type of mathematics used by Yoky Matsuoka.
I suspect that it is mathematical game theory often used in other robotic projects?
Maybe Yoky Matsuoka could write a guest post for you?
