Teaching

FYS102-13 - Mathematics of Fairness. We investigate societal notions of equity from the lens of a mathematician. We concentrate especially on how constructs of government treat each citizen fairly.

Past Courses

CS272: Algorithms

CS339: Artificial Intelligence

Research

My research interests include artificial intelligence, machine learning, reinforcement learning, evolutionary computation, games and game theory, combinatorics.
