Garrison Cottrell is an American cognitive scientist, computer scientist, academic, author and researcher. He is a Professor with an appointment in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, San Diego.[1]
Cottrell’s research falls into areas encompassing artificial intelligence, neural networks, and cognitive science. He has authored over 200 academic papers.[2]
Education[edit]
Cottrell received his Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Sociology as well as an M.A.T. in Mathematics Education from Cornell University.[3] He then earned an M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Rochester where he was advised by James F. Allen.[4][5] After he completed his Ph.D., he was a postdoctoral scholar with David Rumelhart.[6]
Career[edit]
Following his post-doctoral fellowship, Cottrell joined the Computer Science and Engineering department at the University of California, San Diego as an Assistant Professor. He was promoted to Full Professor in 1997. Since 2000, he has served as the Director of the university's Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Cognitive Science.[7]
Research[edit]
Cottrell has worked throughout his career to advance research in artificial neural networks. Beyond neural networks, he has done extensive work to study how people choose what to view in scenes with saccadic eye movements. Notably, his group developed the computational model Saliency Using Natural Statistics for fixation selection. Cottrell also demonstrated that only two fixational eye movements sufficed for face recognition[8][9].
