Kubishi Research Group
Kubishi means "brain" in Owens Valley Paiute, the (critically endangered) language of the Paiute people from Payahuunadü (Owens Valley, California). As a member of the Big Pine Paiute Tribe of the Owens Valley, I decided on this name for my research group because it reflects the autonomous, decentralized, and intelligent aspects of the systems we study. More importantly, though, the name pays homage to my tribe and to all indigenous peoples whose land we work, live, and play on.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the land we work and live on is the traditional ancestral territory of the Tongva people. This land, which holds great historical, spiritual, and personal significance for its original stewards, continues to be inhabited and enriched by the Tongva people. We recognize their enduring presence and the contributions they make to our community, despite the challenges they have faced historically and continue to confront.
Research Topics
Cooperative robots, decentralized computing, distributed computing, online algorithms, distributed ledger technology, the internet of things, artificial intelligence, language revitalization, and large language models.
