My research interests are mainly in the intersection of complex systems and cognitive science, theoretical biology, artificial life and social modeling.
Further academic interests include adaptive and enactive user-interfaces as well as complex networks for natural resources management and transport.
My principal hobby is music (theory and practice). I play the guitar --anybody for a jam?
Cells, insects and carnivores with representations
Fungus eaters
Cognitive modeling for math puzzles
Applied cultural modeling
Graphical tools for agent-based simulation and modeling
Web services design as artificial biology
And I am also trying to learn to play some mandolin
