Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
Todd W. Neller is an Associate Professor and Chair of Computer Science at Gettysburg College. A Cornell University Merrill Presidential Scholar, he received a B.S. in Computer Science with distinction in 1993. In 2000, he received his Ph.D. with distinction in teaching at Stanford University, where he was awarded a Stanford University Lieberman Fellowship, and the George E. Forsythe Memorial Award for excellence in teaching. His dissertation concerned extensions of artificial intelligence (AI) search algorithms to hybrid dynamical systems, and the refutation of hybrid system properties through simulation and information-based optimization. A game enthusiast, Neller has in recent years enjoyed pursuing game AI challenges, computing optimal play for jeopardy dice games such as Pass the Pigs, new reasoning algorithms for Clue/Cluedo, and optimal Risk attack and defense policies.
