About Charles Isbell

Over the course of my career, my technical focus has been on developing artificial intelligence systems that address messy problems that violate the typical assumptions made in statistical machine learning. Over the last two decades, I have developed a body of work centered on machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence systems that model human-like behavior, interact with humans, and ultimately influence human action. In addition to my technical contributions, I have served on advisory boards and focused on innovation, diversity, and educational reform.CAREER SUMMARY Illinois – Chancellor, AI/ML Researcher, Professor UW-Madison – Provost, AI/ML Researcher, Professor Georgia Tech – Dean, AI/ML Researcher, Professor AT & T Labs-Research – Research Scientist Consultant on ML, AI, and Inclusive Innovation ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & EDUCATION One of the early developers of interactive artificial intelligence, an area that is now mainstream Chief architect of Threads, Georgia Tech\'s innovative approach to undergraduate computing education Key developer of the Online Masters of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS) at Georgia Tech STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE Chancellor, University of Illinois Provost, University of Wisconsin-Madison Dean, College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology Executive Associate Dean, College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology Senior Associate Dean, College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology BOARD MEMBERSHIP Board of Trustees and Chair of Executive Board, Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTIC) Board Member, Open Usage Commons Executive Council for the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence Computing Research Association (CRA) Advisory Board Executive Board for the Center for Minorities and People with Disabilities in IT (CMD-IT) NSF Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) Advisory Board NSF Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering (CEOSE) Congressionally-Mandated Advisory Board NSF Environmental Research & Education (AC-ERE) Advisory Board HONORS Fellow, American Academy of Arts and Sciences Fellow Fellow of the ACM Scholar, Academy for Innovative Higher Education Leadership National Academy of Sciences Kavli Fellow for distinguished young scientists
