2003 - 2004
Quantum Information Science and Technology Project
Asian Technology Information Program
Tokyo, Japan
Postdoctoral-level technical assessment of leading initiatives across East Asia. Travels
to university and national research centers in the region. Provided timely, incisive analysis to national policy and funding agency directors under ćgis of US quantum information science program.
2001 - 2003
Universiteit
van Amsterdam
Amsterdam,
The Netherlands
International studies at ISHSS. Research focus in applied physics, high-performance computing, quantum information science. Chairman, UNISCA First Committee. Ratification of four resolutions to the General Assembly addressing long-term strategies for international security, information security and information warfare.

2001
Starlab
NV/SA
Brussels,
Belgium
High-performance computing research. Applied artificial intelligence, neural networks,
genetic algorithms. Co-creation of a novel neural network approach for
implementation in parallel, field-programmable gate array based evolutionary computing hardware.
Assistance in design and functional specifications of a cellular automata-based
evolutionary hardware architecture, utilizing genetic algorithms to evolve
a large-scale artificial neural network.
2000 - 2001
Pierre
Laclede Honors College
Research
Thesis in Artificial Intelligence
University of Missouri - St. Louis
Honors research thesis in artificial intelligence. Video
teleconferencing collaboration with Starlab NV/SA, Brussels. Design
and evolution of genetic algorithm-based neural networks in specialized hardware. Several pioneering research grants as first undergraduate scholar, Pierre Laclede Honors College experimental studies fellowship program. Consecutive project funding in experimental neuroscience, US INFOSEC, Fort Meade, and Starlab NV/SA, Brussels.
Backpropagation training in Adaptive Quantum Networks, with Roman Zapatrin. (NATO Advanced Research Workshop, Villa Cagnola, Italy; International Quantum Structures Association, Brussels, Gdańsk 2008) We incorporated backpropagation training in adaptive quantum networks (IJTP 43, 10). The framework provides quantitative, numerical indications for optimization of both full network topology and single-neuron activation functions.
Superposed Quantum Network Topologies with Jaroslaw Pykacz and Roman Zapatrin (International Journal of Theoretical Physics 43, no. 10, 2004). We introduced
a novel, fault-tolerant quantum learning architecture at the intersection
of algebraic quantum topology and neural networks. The model provides
a rich source for development of new quantum algorithms
in applications such as pattern recognition and associative processing.
