My name is David D'Ambrosio and I am currently a Ph.D. Student at the University of Central Florida. I obtained my BS in Computer Science at Florida Atlantic Univeristy and my MS in Computer Science at the University of Central Florida. My current interests include neuroevolution, generative and developmental encodings, Compositional Pattern Producing Networks (CPPNs), and HyperNEAT. My research areas are: agent and multi-agent control and emergent complexity in artifical and natural systems.

Picbreeder: A collaborative
image
evolution project where anyone on the internet can create all sorts of interesting images and explore the power of evolution. I worked on both the server side scripts and the evolution applet.
HyperSharpNEAT:Colin Green's SharpNEAT updated to work with HyperNEAT. This is the main platfrom that I use for my experiments.
