Research

I am currently a Ph.D. student at Michigan State University in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. I received my B.S. & M.S. from Western Michigan University from the Department of Computer Science in '02 & '04, respectively. My research is focused on digital evolution and evolving emergent systems. Basically, I attempt to solve complex problems by harnessing the power of evolution. If you're interested I have some publications that are linked to my curriculum vitae.
