Dr. Ghodssi Welcomes New Associate Research Professor in the MATRIX Lab

The University of Maryland (UMD) Clark School of Engineering MATRIX Lab is welcoming a new Associate Research Professor, Dr. Donald “Bucket” Costello.

Dr. Costello’s research focuses on autonomous systems and how to certify them. His work is making important strides toward a broader use of autonomy. His appointment is expected to enhance the lab’s research and education capabilities.

“We are excited to welcome Dr. Costello to the team,” said MATRIX Lab Executive Director of Research and Innovation Dr. Reza Ghodssi. “The expertise he gained from his decades-long Navy career will drive impactful research and develop important partnerships. We are looking forward to a highly productive future.”

Costello received his PhD in mechanical engineering from UMD. His unique experience of completing the doctorate aboard an aircraft carrier while serving at NAVAIR is described in a story written by UMD communications manager Robert Herschbach.
