Jonathan Shapiro
I am a Senior Lecturer the department of Computer Science, where I teach
and carry out research on neural networks and genetic algorithms. I am
also associated with the Santa Fe Institute, through their programs on
Adaptive Computation and Evolutionary Dynamics. Previously, I was a research
theoretical physicist at the University of Manchester and the University
of California, where I did research on condensed matter physics.
