A few specific programming tasks that would help support research and development projects at Hampshire and elsewhere:
- a version of breve in which simulations can be written in Common Lisp (under development)
- a Push programming language library for Processing, probably using Jon Klein’s Psh implementation of Push (http://www.spiderland.org/Psh/) (open)
- a Lisp programming library for Processing, preferably Common Lisp (there are Java implementations such as http://common-lisp.net/project/armedbear/ and others listed at http://www.is-research.de/info/vmlanguages/lisp.html) (open)
- a parallel (cluster or GPU) physics engine for breve (open)
Some general research areas in which I am always happy to supervise work or collaborate, but they each require significant and broad skills:
- application of evolutionary computing to problems in quantum computing
- application of evolutionary computing to problems related to climate change
- application of evolutionary computing to problems in mathematics
- development, enhancement, and testing of new techniques for evolutionary computation
- development, enhancement, and testing of “computational creativity” tools
If you’re interested please drop me a line (lspector@hampshire.edu).
