Carrick Detweiler B.A. 2004, Middlebury College M.S. 2006, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Ph.D. 2010, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor University of Nebraska-Lincoln Computer Science and Engineering Mechanical and Materials Engineering (by courtesy) Office: carrick @ unl _dot_ edu 220 Schorr Center Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska-Lincoln Lincoln, NE 68588 (402) 472-2449

I am not currently accepting new students as I'll be on leave focusing on Drone Amplified.* Contact the other NIMBUS Co-Directors if you are interested in research opportunities.

About Me

I am a Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, a Faculty Fellow of the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute, a Faculty Fellow of the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center, and have a courtesy appointment in the UNL Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering (you can find my CV here). I co-Direct the NIMBUS Lab, where we work with aerial robots and other robot systems. I am co-founder and CEO of Drone Amplified, which sells drone-based fire ignition systems.* I completed my Ph.D. at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) at MIT, studying computer science and robotics in the Distributed Robotics Lab with my adviser Daniela Rus. My research interests include field robotics, environmental monitoring, agricultural robotics, adaptive sampling, perception, localization, and safety and reliability of robots in the wild. I work with and build everything from flying robots to underwater sensor networks and often explore the boundaries between robots and sensor networks. My goal is to develop systems and algorithms that enable robots to operate in real world conditions to aid scientists, farmers, and others.

I have an Erdös number of at most 4 :) I enjoy skiing, scuba diving, flying (drones and "real" Cessna-like planes), reading science fiction, biking, cooking, photography, walking my dog, and spending time with my daughters. I am married to Courtney Hillebrecht, who is a faculty member in the political science department at UNL.

Check the NIMBUS Lab website and our blog for the most up-to-date information on my research.

If you want to meet with me, you can schedule it yourself if you are in one of my classes. If you are not in one of my classes or the Nimbus Lab, you should email me first.

I also created a University of Nebraska-Lincoln letterhead template in LaTeX, which makes writing letters much easier in my opinion. If you have any suggestions or updates feel free to let me know.
