I research Artificial Life and Artificial Intelligence. I am especially interested in finding which definitions of these concepts, 'Life' and 'Intelligence', are most useful to help us implement them inside artificial systems. I have recently been working on the relationship between failure and learning, and its application to the study of visual illusions as well as classification and reinforcement learning. My ongoing projects also include research in the domains of Astrobiology (finding life in the universe), Open Ended Evolution, and cellular automata. I have been advocating for open science and promoting new research practices through community service for various science organizations, as well as through my Open Collaboration platform 'Mimosa'.
