Justin M. Bradley holds a B.S. in computer engineering (2005) and M.S. in electrical engineering (2007) from Brigham Young University, and M.S. (2012) and Ph.D. (2014) degrees in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan. He worked at Lawrence Livermore National Lab from 2007-2010 as a control software engineer on a large distributed control system, the Integrated Computer Control System, for the National Ignition Facility. He has worked with Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for over 15 years, starting at the Multi-AGent Intelligent Coordination and Control (MAGICC) lab at BYU, the A2Sys lab at the University of Michigan, and most recently as a co-director of the Nebraska Intelligent MoBile Unmanned System (NIMBUS) lab since 2015. He is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the Computer Science and Engineering Department. He is a recipient of a 2021 NSF CAREER award.
Justin's research lies at the intersection of computing, control, and aerospace disciplines. Of particular interest are themes of decision and control, control software, and robot autonomy in aerospace systems. A common theme in his research is developing algorithms that can dynamically adjust their resource utilization in response to uncertainty, adjusting performance as needed to meet demands.
