Luis Rabelo

As an expert in management systems, artificial intelligence (AI) and simulation, Rabelo works with his research team to better understand the industry process, simulate deep learning design, and create next-generation systems. The group works with both public and private organizations to solve real-world problems using AI and simulation solutions designed through brain wave analysis and research. These innovations find success in a shorter period, demand more attention, and offer longer retention than traditional methods of teaching, coaching, and employee training.

Rabelo says opportunities in his field will be unlimited. His vision for the future is becoming a reality within the walls of his simulation laboratory. With a passion for improving management systems using AI and simulation, Rabelo and his team are helping companies become more efficient, more productive, and more profitable. His larger goal has to do with helping the individual. Rabelo imagines a tomorrow where simulation learning can be accessed right from your cellphones, where people can watch training classes, talk to experts, and practice new techniques in real time.

Currently advising two master’s students and 12 doctoral students; previously advised 35 doctoral students. Rabelo’s students have gone on to work for places such as NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, NASA’s John Glenn Space Research Center, Lockheed Martin, Disney, Duke Energy, and more.
