an American computer scientist and lead programmer at //Great Game Products//, the makers of [|Bridge Baron], the 1997 [|world champion] of computer bridge , where he along with Dana Nau and Thomas A. Throop developed the AI-planning techniques. He holds a Ph.D. in 1997 from [|University of Maryland, College Park] on search and planning applied to Bridge, and co-authored several papers on that topic as well on forward pruning.
