Breelyn Styler, PhD is a VA Research Engineer working in assistive robotics and currently funded on a Rehabilitation R&D Career Development Award. Her research interests include developing modular assistive robotic software systems that empower users with disabilities. This includes planning and prediction techniques for collaborative assistive robotic systems to operate in uncertain environments with user driven control authority that can adjust software autonomy based on user's preferences. She is also interested in the development of intuitive assistive systems to support the caregiver as well as the user. Dr. Styler earned her degree in Computer Science (BS) from the University of Texas at Austin, and advanced (MS and PhD) degrees in Robotics from the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. She completed her Postdoctoral research at the Human Engineering Research Laboratory. Dr. Styler also has over 7 years of software industry experience.
