The Synthetic Characters group at the MIT Media Lab, led by Dr Bruce Blumberg, was concerned with the research and development of an extensible architecture for the brains of virtual creatures.

My thesis, “It’s About Time: Temporal Representations for Synthetic Characters,” contributed a new ethologically-inspired model for predictive learning in lifelike virtual creatures. The
thesis is available online through my MIT site.
"Waiting for Goatzilla," the tongue-in-cheek video that accompanied my thesis, is now
available on YouTube.
