Professor Emeritus at Towson University
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Hammell is a Professor Emeritus and retired US Army lieutenant colonel with a PhD in Computer Science and over two decades of academic and research leadership in computer and information sciences. His career spans applied machine learning, soft computing, and remote sensing, with practical work on battlefield situational awareness, decision support systems, and information fusion at the US Army Research Laboratory. At Towson University he taught a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses—from networks and security to software project management—and supervised doctoral research applying fuzzy logic, neural networks, and multi-agent systems. He has secured and managed substantial research funding, published technical articles, and led multi-institution programs and SBIR initiatives. Now retired and back in his Arkansas hometown, he remains intellectually active (Towson email still functional) and enjoys a slower pace with frequent hunting trips. His blend of military system acquisition experience, rigorous research, and hands-on teaching gives him a rare perspective on transitioning advanced AI techniques into operational systems.
