Past Work

Generally Intelligent Machines

While I was in Georgia, I completed a very bold Master's thesis titled "Towards Generally Intelligent Machines" through which I explored the role of creativity in intelligent machines.

Decision Support Systems

As a part of my research assistantship in Georgia, I worked on the NED-2 decision support system, an intelligent system to aid forest managers in a variety of decisions. This project was funded by the USDA forest service.
