Research Interests:

My main research interests lie in biologically-inspired computing, with an emphasis on neural networks, multi-agent systems, and artificial life. I am especially interested in real-world applications of these technologies and how they can be directly related to the biological behaviors that inspire them. A complete list of research interests follows:
