Mark+Brockington

a Canadian computer scientist, computer game programmer and professional Poker player. He received a [|B.Math.] degree in [|pure mathematics] with computer science from the University of Waterloo, in 1992, and graduated at the University of Alberta with a Ph.D. in computer science with a thesis about parallel search, the //Asynchronous Parallel Game-Tree Search// APHID algorithm. The Othello program //Keyano// was part of his thesis research, and along with Paul Hsieh he co-authored the Othello program //QED//. After finishing the University he was hired at [|BioWare] and has been working there since then, developing commercial computer games. || toc =Selected Publications=
