Hi, all. The FRIAM list welcome email said I should introduce myself, so here it is. My name's Ted Carmichael; I'm a PhD candidate in the College of Computing and Informatics, at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. I've been interested in CAS for the last 3 or 4 years; ever since I took an introductory course in it, I've been hooked.
I think what I enjoy most is how applicable CAS is to many different fields. I'm computer science, but I enjoy learning a little bit about a lot of subjects. So this field is perfect for me. The professor who taught the intro course is now my thesis advisor. Last year we formed a research group here, with faculty from economics, biology, sociology, political science, theater, and philosophy. So that's a lot of fun. Some of us are also trying to create a symposium for next fall, through AAAI. I'll send a seperate email out about that, so you all can look at it, see if you might be interested. Thanks a lot! Cheers, Ted
