Using human energy fields to sculpt real-time molecular dynamics (2013)
Book Chapter

Chemistry has historically placed a great deal of emphasis on “structure function” relationships, where a molecule’s function and associated properties are understood with reference to how its atoms are arranged. However, the way we imagine molecules... Read More about Using human energy fields to sculpt real-time molecular dynamics.

A comparison of evolution-strategy based methods for frequency modulated musical tone timbre matching (2006)
Book Chapter

We evaluate two Evolution Strategy-based optimisation algorithms that are known to perform well with multi-modal fitness landscapes, comparing them with each other and a standard Evolution Strategy. We apply these algorithms to a simple FM synthesise... Read More about A comparison of evolution-strategy based methods for frequency modulated musical tone timbre matching.
