Biography
Dr. Ayodeji Coker serves as the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Portfolio Manager for Autonomy. In this role, he leads ONR’s corporate strategy in Autonomy; manages the corresponding investment portfolio; and provides focus on transition, operationalization, and fielding for autonomy and autonomous unmanned systems.
Dr Coker also serves as a Science Director for Artificial Intelligence, Autonomy, and Unmanned Systems at the Office of Naval Research Global (ONRG) London office. He brings domain expertise in Complex Adaptive Systems, Distributed and Collaborative Autonomy, and Command and Control (C2) Battlespace Awareness. His key technical areas of interest are in Swarm Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence. In particular, Swarm intelligence as it relates to how swarm collectives make decisions in complex dynamic environments, and how humans interact effectively with Swarms. Dr. Coker is also currently leading a grand challenge effort in partnership with the Alan Turing Institute (United Kingdom) to develop ‘AI Scientists’: AI systems capable of making Nobel quality scientific discoveries highly autonomously at a level comparable, and possibly superior, to the best human scientists by 2050.
