Professor Wayne Iba, PhD
About Wayne:
Wayne Iba joined Westmont's Mathematics and Computer Science
department in 2003. Previously, he worked at NASA, the FBI, a
non-profit research institute, and in the commercial sector. The
common theme of his research has been to develop computer programs
that learn how to provide personalized assistance by unobtrusively
observing a user's behavior. His studies in Information and Computer
Sciences at UC Santa Cruz (B.A.) and UC Irvine (M.S. and Ph.D.)
focused on Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive
Science and Experimental Psychology. Dr. Iba's current research
focuses on the nature of service, but other interests include
property models in digital environments and the interactions between
Artificial Intelligence and the Philosophy of Mind.
