Welcome to my webpage. I am working as a professor in the department of computer science at Central Michigan University where I have established the Redei lab on aviation safety. I graduated with a PhD in computer science at the University of Nevada- Reno under professor Sergiu Dascalu. My research interests include flight simulation, life science robotics, real estate, and artificial intelligence.
The Redei lab’s primary research thrust is in flight simulation. My lab researches pilot training and aviation safety. We simulated flight formations of the Blue Angels at Aviation Roundup Airshow in 2018. Our research into aviation safety has been highlighted on radio programs and in print.
As director of software, I flew across the US, Brazil, Switzerland, and Australia supporting key customer accounts totaling $8 million in sales. I led the technical aspects of Hamilton Reno’s EasyPunch, IDStarlet, and AutoLys platforms. I setup the forensic lab in Sydney, Australia, a massive project which automates all sample lysis for the entire state of New South Whales (an area 20% bigger than the state of Texas).
This is my online portfolio. Learn more about my research, my classes, and how to hire me.
Evan Miller will be presenting a poster of our GTA V Self-Driving Car project at MID-SURE 2021!
“Both the separate image and image highlighting
methods achieved reasonable accuracies on our
dataset, and performed similarly when tested in
the game. The motion simulation plugin works as
intended, the training process has been simplified
using a generator, and the AI demonstrated behavior
that showed it was recognizing both background
environments and vehicles.”
Watch Luke Rogers present his paper, titled ‘Human-in-the-Loop Flight Training of a Quadcopter for Autonomous Systems' at the 18th international conference on information technology: new generations (ITNG). This conference was scheduled for Las Vegas, NV but unfortunately was hosted virtually only due to COVID. Luke presents his exciting research and an important step forward in getting drones flying with real pilots:
We’ve logged our first hour in our new Diamond DA 40 simulator. This is an FTD level 6 simulator, meaning the cockpit is an exact replica of the real airplane with force-feedback joysticks and rudder pedals.
She needs a good cleaning after all the assembly… Expect to see visitors from the FAA as we get this sim certified!
Our Paragalactic space simulator was mentioned during President Davies’ 2021 State of the University Address!
“CMU leaders see a problem and look for solutions – it is simply what We Do. We focus on the real-world impact of what we do in our classrooms, labs, registered student organizations and more. Consider the Paragalatic flight simulator developed by computer science students and faculty. Developing the simulator’s software package enabled students to work with industry tools and add concrete examples of their skills to their portfolios. They can tell potential employers that their work is helping people take flight in an “edu-tainment” setting and that they played a key role in research that will improve pilot training.I had the opportunity to try my own piloting skills in the simulator — it was an exciting experience. More importantly, in addition to being a highly entertaining ride, the program meets science education standards for middle schoolers. Paragalatic is a great example of how CMU focuses on the real-world research and projects that benefit both our students and the communities we serve.”
John Apo has accepted a position at GM in their plant in Warren, MI. Congratulations John! We are excited for your new position and wish you continued success at General Motors.
Dr. Redei presented on flight simulation technology at the 2021 IEEE STEM event at CMU. We discussed the Air France Flight 447 tragedy, software systems above the Airbus A330, and multi-axis joystick reconciliation. We summarized with how simulation is being used to make flights safer.

Watch undergraduate senior John Apo present his paper titled "Techniques for Using Virtual Reality Simulations for Self-Defense Skill Development" at the 29th International Conference of Software Engineering and Data Engineering. This paper was highly ranked and was invited for extension to a journal.
Our paper on KickVR has been accepted to the 29th International Conference of Software Engineering and Data Engineering in Las Vegas, NV. Unfortunately, due to COVID, this conference will be held entirely online.
