Andrew Correa

My name is Andrew Correa. I'm a graduate student working with Professor Randall Davis and the Multimodal Understanding Group (formerly "Design Rationale") in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

I am currently working on inferring a grammatical structure for a symbolic language that the army uses to visually describe military courses of action. Fittingly, these diagrams are called "Military Course of Action" diagrams. To learn more, take a look in my Current Projects page.

I would like to work in Europe in the future. I was born in Würzburg, Germany (in Bavaria) and have always felt at home in Germany. German was my first language and I am lucky enough to have a mother that helped me keep my fluency in German, though I have spent most of my life living in California.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of California, Irvine. I enjoyed my time there greatly, and now that I have experienced a full winter at MIT, I really miss the weather at UCI. I got my first introduction to research from Assistant Professor Bill Tomlinson in the Social Code Group.

Hey, look! I was on the homepage of MIT on March 2^nd, 2009!

As Bill Tomlinson put it: [N]ice work! ... You're the MIT poster boy. That's some serious nerd cred.
