Todd W. Neller, an American computer scientist and professor at Gettysburg College, Ph.D. in 2000 from Stanford University under Richard Fikes, elaborating on search algorithms to hybrid dynamical systems. As a game enthusiast he enjoyed pursuing game AI challenges, such as computing optimal play for the dice games Pass the Pigs and Dudo, creating new reasoning algorithms for Clue/Cluedo, and designing logic mazes [1].
