Prof. Daniel Coore is a Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Computing at the UWI, Mona. His current research interests are in: complex systems, robotics and automation, computer science education and applications of generative AI.
He has taught courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, spanning a broad range of areas including algorithms, theory of computation, language processing and cryptography. His teaching and research activities have exposed him to a broad cross-section of disciplines, particularly in Science, Engineering and Education, and he has a keen interest in the problems that exist at the boundaries between these disciplines.
Prof. Coore is a co-inventor of the UWI Cardiac Surgery Simulator: a computer-controlled device that simulates a patient undergoing open-heart surgery, and is suitable for training cardiac surgeons in both basic and advanced procedures. He is also a major contributor to the recently approved UWI AI Policy.
He obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering (1994), a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (1994), and a Ph.D. in Computer Science (1999), all
from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
