Pending Projects

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).
