Associate Professor David H. Ackley

David H. Ackley received a Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University. Before starting his academic position at the University of New Mexico, he was a member of the Cognitive Science Research Group at Bellcore. His ongoing research interests center on artificial life models and real artificial life; current research emphases include genetic algorithms and programming, distributed and social computing, robust self-aware systems, and computer security.
