Official Bio

Gregg Rabideau is a researcher and developer in the Artificial Intelligence Group at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology. He is working on new planning and scheduling technologies for several space projects sponsored by NASA. His research interests include soft real-time re-planning and plan optimization. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science from the University of Illinois where he graduated with highest honors. Gregg is the software lead for the ASPEN planning and scheduling system which received Honorable Mention in the 1999 NASA Software of the Year Competition and was a contributor to the Remote Agent Experiment which was co-winner in the same competition.
