Research Interests
My primary research is focused on making a better computer bridge player. I did my MS Thesis on a fast algorithm to find a claim, and my current PhD work is on improving constructive bidding through expert systems.
Along the same lines, I have a general interest in game playing by computers, and how we can improve them to play better in all categories of games.
My research advisor is Professor Ernest Davis.
