About

I studied pure mathematics at the University of Toronto, then computer science at Concordia University in Montréal. My supervisors were Peter Grogono and Nawwaf Kharma. While at UofT, I worked at the Adaptive Technology Resource Centre (which has since turned into the Inclusive Design Research Centre), where I did design and development of software interfaces for people with disabilities.

I then went to do a Postdoctoral Fellowship with Wolfgang Banzhaf at the Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland. There, I worked in evolutionary computation and helped design a project in geovisual analytics.

I spent the next year at the Centre for Electronic Media Art at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. My supervisors were Jon McCormack and Alan Dorin. I worked in applying machine learning to some of their theories on computational creativity, and produced some electronic art as well. That work was shown in galleries around Melbourne.

Now I work as a Guest Researcher at L'institut des Systèmes Complexes - Paris Île-de-France, with René Doursat. I also worked on the ANR synbiotic project.

Over the years, I've had the pleasure of working with several other gifted researchers and artists, including: Ollie Bown, Nicolas Bredeche, Nicolas Brodu, Kara Fraser, Simon Harding, David Medernach, Telmo Menezes, Ben Porter, Jean-Baptiste Rouquier, Garnett Wilson, and Andrew Zbihlyj
