    Biography

Danil Prokhorov is received his Diploma in Robotics (Mechanical 
Engineering M.S. equivalent) with Honors from the St. Petersburg State 
University of Aerospace Instrumentation (former LIAP), Russia, in 1992. 
He entered the graduate school of Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX, in 
1994.  He received his Ph.D. in 1997, and he joined the staff of Ford 
Research Laboratory the same year (Artificial Neural Systems group).  
While at Ford he was engaged in application-driven studies of neural 
network training algorithms.

Dr. Prokhorov is a recipient of the 1999 INNS Young Investigator Award 
for his contributions to approximate (neuro)dynamic programming, 
recurrent neural networks and learning algorithms.

He joined Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, MI, as a research 
manager in 2005.  His group carries out projects in AI for intelligent 
diagnostics, control, autonomous driving, and driver state evaluation.
