For those interested in being helped by a professional organizer, I'm pleased to recommend Time Space Organization. For those looking for motorcycle or bike accessories (especially for bikes like a Honda Helix) I'm pleased to recommend Two Wheel Touring.

Research Interests

My current research interest is in Artificial Intelligence including Neural Networks. I'm currently working with Chip Levy to help extend his model of the hippocampus to include a simple approximation to the neocortex. I've also done research with General Relativity and Black Holes. My Master's thesis was Analysis and Discussion of Alternative Space-Time Metrics
