I am a Computer Scientist with the University of California, Santa Cruz in the University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) at NASA Ames Research Center. Here I work in the Evolvable Systems Group in the Intelligent Systems Division. My research centers around evolutionary algorithms, which I use to design various things such as antennas, software controllers and robots.

Research Projects
