Research:

I am interested in Multi-agent Systems. I am working with Dr. DeLoach on my
thesis. We are investigating issues related to reorganization triggers and 
automated reorganization. As a case study, I am using the grid-world search
and rescue problem.

I am interested in the use multi-agent societies to model some of the problems
in social sciences like economics and political sciences.
