Research Interests

  • AI: genetic programming, genetic algorithms
  • GP Applications: process algebra, process modeling, computer graphics

My research is in the fields of genetic programming and genetic algorithms. I have been applying GP towards automatic synthesis of probabilistic networks, as modeled in stochastic process algebra. Probabilistic models in gene regulatory networks have been studied in this framework. I have also applied GP in problems in computer graphics and computer vision.

Member of the Bio-Inspired Computational Intelligence Group.
