Chris M. Cooke

Chris Cooke is a senior staff engineer and full-stack developer with a focus on the testing and evaluation of autonomous systems and systems with modular architectures. Much of his work has involved leveraging contemporary industry techniques (virtualization, containerization, continuous integration) to improve rapid prototyping and reuse in developing and testing autonomous systems. He is also interested in the design of human–computer interfaces for autonomous systems at operational scales, both through traditional graphical user interface methods as well as via immersive technologies. His areas of expertise include autonomous unmanned vehicles, hardware/software integration, software engineering, and testing of autonomous systems.
