Video Recording: Material Computation of TSP by a Shrinking
Blob
Hello. I am a research fellow at the Centre for Unconventional Computing led by Professor Andrew Adamatzky. My interests are in non-classical computational substrates and specifically the emergence of material computation in multi-agent particle collectives. I am currently working on a UWE funded SPUR grant for early career researchers titled: 'Developing non-neural models of material computation in cellular tissues'. I am a participating member in the PhyChip programme working on the development of computational models of biomorphic computing devices.
