Welcome to the home page of Dr. Michael P. Frank, Ph.D. You can call me Mike. I'm a new tenure-track faculty member (at the assistant professor level) here at the <a href="http://www.ufl.edu">UF</a> <a href="http://www.cise.ufl.edu">CISE</a> department. If you want to read more about me, you can check out my <a href="mpf.html">previous home page</a> that I maintained as a graduate student and postdoctoral researcher at the <a href="http://web.mit.edu">MIT</a> <a href="http://www.ai.mit.edu">AI Lab</a>.
