Ibrahim Volkan Isler is an assistant professor of computer science. Previously, he was an assistant professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a post-doctoral researcher at the University of California-Berkeley. In 2008, he received the National Science Foundation's Young Investigator Award.

Isler’s research interests include robotics, sensor networks and computer vision. Specifically, he focuses on designing robotic systems that can operate autonomously in dynamic and complex environments. As an Institute on the Environment resident fellow, Isler will interact with field scientists in order to understand the challenges that must be overcome to develop automation systems which enable or improve their research. He will also organize a national conference in environmental robotics, highlighting the University of Minnesota’s leadership in this emerging field.
