Current

I am currently working toward a PhD in computer science. My advisor is Prof. Paul Cohen.

Research

My research interests include Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. I am currently working on a project which uses fluent graphs to project possible futures, evaluate them, and alert the user to any unexpected upcoming events. I am also working on an intelligent tutoring system which strives to guide students down the most efficient learning path for a given subject.
Prior to my transfer to the University of Arizona I was at the University of Wyoming where I worked on research in Artificial Physics, safety checking for the GILA project, and on function optimization.

Education

PhD Computer Science, University of Arizona, (expected 2010)
B.S. in Computer Science, University of Wyoming, 2001
B.A. in Psychology, Brown University, 1992
