Igor V. Karpov
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. I started at UT in 2004 and switched to the PhD program after completing my MSCS in 2006. Before that, I graduated from Rice University with a BS in Computer Science in 2003. I am originally from Pushchino, Moscow Region, Russia and I have lived in the United States since 1994.
My research interests are in artificial intelligence, computatioanl linguistics and cognitive science. In particular, I am using simulated environments (such as video games!) to study aspects of evolution, acquisition and grounding of communication and language in multi-agent systems. I am a member of the Neural Networks Research Group, and I am varioiusly involved with the following projects:

Cool Seminars and Reading Groups
I have been the Research Educator for several iterations of the Computational Intelligence in Games stream of the Freshman Research Initiative. The goal of the two-semester course sequence is to introduce freshmen and sophomores interested in computer science research to the area of artificial intelligence in games.
