Professor George F. Luger
Professor George F. Luger obtained a Ph.D. from the University of
Pennsylvania in 1973. His specialty is artificial intelligence, especially
computational models of human problem solving. He received a
Burlington Foundation Award in May 1993. His special interests are
artificial intelligence, computational models of human problem
solving and knowledge engineering. He is coauthor of a popular
Artificial Intelligence textbook and recently completed a textbook on
Cognitive Science.
