Welcome

This is my primary professional internet presence concerning my work on emergent behavior, complexity, and adaptation in intelligent computational structures. It also supports related efforts in complex systems education and open source technology.

My Path to Complex Adaptive Systems Research

I've enjoyed learning about and using complex systems for a significant portion of my life. I started out playing some early 2000's computer games which turned out to be surprisingly accurate simulations of traffic, crowd dynamics, and other systems. From there, I was inspired by reading books about complexity, such as "Signals and Boundaries" and "The Tipping Point". Throughout college I learned more about the theory /math to support those ideas, and now I work as a researcher developing new ideas in those areas.

What I'm Doing Now

After finishing my Ph.D. research in the lab of Dr. Larry Head at the University of Arizona, I started working as a researcher in Washington D.C. Today, I do R&D on Complex Adaptive Systems (especially AI related ones), trying to figure out better ways to study and engineer them.
