Richard Barnes

PhD

Richard applies computational and mathematical techniques to better understand the complex interface of society and the environment. His work is focused on modelling the evolutionary dynamics of plants to find useful variants that nature could not build; on the side he worked to develop linear time parallel terrain analysis algorithms. A recipient of both the DOE […]
