Over the last several years he's worked as a consulting encyclopaedist (read: "pedant" and "researcher"), on a number of engineering projects involving the optimization, explanation and design of ComplexSystems, MultiAgentSystems, and EvolutionaryAlgorithms.

Oh, and over the week of April 26 2004 he's selling his ErdosNumber. Well... selling the chance to increase somebody else's. An act that has some other consequences, hopefully....

Alas for brevity, he has also done work in the following fields:

• the OriginOfLife?
• ArtificialLife
• QuantitativeRiskAnalysis? and MonteCarloModel?ing
• BioInformatics and ProteinFolding?
• theoretical computer science (CellularAutomata and stuff like that)
• MetaOptimization
• PharmaceuticalDesign? (computational and also GodForbid? real-life benchwork)
• MolecularEvolution? (theoretical and benchwork again)
• models of cultural transmission
• agronomic decision-making
• complex systems models of marketing and hedonics
• designing network algorithms for streaming video
• TextMining?
• financial prediction and PortfolioManagement
