Elizabeth Whitaker earned her Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering (specialization in artificial intelligence) from the University of South Carolina in 1992. She has over twenty years of experience on software development and research projects. Her primary research interest is applied artificial intelligence (AI), and she has provided case-based learning technologies to be integrated into a multiple machine learning approach. Dr. Whitaker is working on several research projects in human cultural and behavioral modeling exploring the docking and integration of agent-based, case-based and system dynamics models. She and her software team participated on a research project providing case-based military course-of-action (COA) analysis and system dynamics models for recognizing COA weaknesses. She led another project that investigated new modeling tools to aid intelligence analysts in knowledge discovery.
