About Me

An image of Richard Kelley standing in front of a self-driving car. I am a roboticist and computer scientist. I am currently a clinical assistant professor of computer science at the Catholic University of America. Before summer 2025, I was the senior engineer at the Nevada Center for Applied Research, where I led research and development focused on automated vehicles and intelligent transportation systems. I was also the senior engineer for Nevada Autonomous, the State of Nevada’s Federal Aviation Administration Unmanned Aircraft test site, a role that I filled on and off from 2015.

Social Networks

When I am able to, I like to share software via Github. I also post occasionally about robotics, artificial intelligence, and math on X (Twitter) here.
