Santa Fe Institute

Bio

Although my training was in physics, my interests are far broader.  Reflecting this I have worked at the Santa Fe Institute, the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Neurosciences Institute at Rockefeller University, IBM, and TXN (a data-mining startup).  Currently I am a senior computer scientist at NASA, the Ulam Scholar at CNLS, and a consulting professor in Stanford's Aeronautics and Astronautics Department.  This breadth of interests has led me to publish work on the following topics, most of it being on the first four:

Game theory, machine learning, multi-agent systems and distributed control, operations research (blackbox optimization and Monte Carlo methods), foundations of physics, complexity measures, nanotechonology, molecular biology, computation theory, and several branches of mathematics.
