Sebastian Elbaum is an Argentinian-American computer scientist. During the COVID-19 pandemic,Elbaum was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in "recognition of his contributions of testing techniques for evolving systems."
Elbaum received his Ph.D. from the University of Idaho and a Systems Engineering degree from Catholic University of Córdoba. [1]
Upon completing his education,Elbaum accepted a faculty position at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln where he co-founded two international recognized labs,the E2 Software Engineering Lab and the Nimbus Robotics Lab. [1] He received a $36,500 Google Faculty Research Award and National Science Foundation Award for his project "Solving the Search for Code with Inputs and Outputs" for one year. [2] [3] The following year,he collaborated with Carrick Detweiler for their project "Co-Aerial Ecologist:Robotic Water Sampling and Sensing in the Wild" project as part of the National Robotics Initiative. [4] In 2015,Elbaum was appointed to the rank of Willa Cather/Charles Bessey Professorship. [5]
Elbaum eventually left the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2018 to accept a similar position at the University of Virginia. During the COVID-19 pandemic,Elbaum was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in "recognition of his contributions of testing techniques for evolving systems." [6] He was named to the 2022 class of ACM Fellows,"for contributions to the analysis and testing of evolving systems and robotic systems". [7]
The Space Systems Laboratory (SSL) is part of the Aerospace Engineering Department and A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland in College Park,Maryland. The Space Systems Laboratory is centered on the Neutral Buoyancy Research Facility,a 50-foot-diameter (15 m),25-foot-deep (7.6 m) neutral buoyancy pool used to simulate the microgravity environment of space. The only such facility housed at a university,Maryland's neutral buoyancy tank is used for undergraduate and graduate research at the Space Systems Lab. Research in Space Systems emphasizes space robotics,human factors,applications of artificial intelligence and the underlying fundamentals of space simulation. There are currently five robots being tested,including Ranger,a four-armed satellite servicing robot,and SCAMP,a six-degree of freedom free-flying underwater camera platform. Ranger was funded by NASA starting in 1992,and was to be a technological demonstration of orbital satellite servicing. NASA was never able to manifest it for launch and the program was defunded circa 2006. For example,Ranger development work at the SSL continues,albeit at a slower pace;Ranger was used to demonstrate robotic servicing techniques for NASA's proposed robotic Hubble Servicing Mission.
