Robert Shelton, Ph. D.

Robert lost most of his usable vision from glaucoma at the age of 11. He is a mathematician with experience in software development, rule-based and computational AI and pattern recognition. He holds a PhD in mathematics from Rice University. Robert has managed a small group of software developers at the Johnson Space Center since 1995. The group has developed Internet tools, games, simulations, and most recently, an accessible math description and analysis application—MathTrax—for persons with vision and spatial perception disabilities. Prior to leading the JSC Learning Technologies team, Robert developed software for control center automation, and was a Mathematics professor at Michigan Technological University and the University of Tennessee Knoxville.
