Dick co-founded Stottler Henke in 1988 as a software company dedicated to providing practical solutions to difficult problems by skillfully drawing upon a large repertoire of artificial intelligence technologies. Under Dick’s leadership, Stottler Henke has grown steadily and profitably into a 60-person research and software development company with distinctive expertise in automated planning and scheduling, intelligent tutoring systems, intelligent simulation, sensor data fusion, and autonomous systems.

Dick combines a strong applied research record in artificial intelligence with practical experience in rapid and efficient knowledge engineering. He has led the development of intelligent tutoring systems that encode the expertise of instructors to provide practice-based learning and automated evaluation of student performance. Subject areas include navy tactics; army tactics, command, and control; sonar data analysis; astronaut training; helicopter cockpit operations; and battlefield emergency medicine. He led the development of intelligent planning systems for NASA space shuttle missions, satellite communications and sensor  scheduling, and aircraft assembly. He also led the development of intelligent systems that autonomously control groups of drones to automatically plan and execute tasks to achieve mission objectives and react to unpredictable events.

Dick has written or presented more than 80 papers and articles for publications such as the proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI). He received his BS in engineering from Cornell University and his MS in computer science (artificial intelligence) from Stanford University.
