About Me
I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student at the University of Central Florida. My interests include computational creativity, computer-generated music, music cognition, neuroevolution, NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT), HyperNEAT, and Compositional Pattern Producing Networks (CPPNs). I am also a member of the the EPlex research group.CV
