Bobby D. Bryant

Ph.D. Alumni

Bobby's dissertation work focused on neuroevolution of believable behavior in video games. He developed methods for using human examples to guide neuroevolution and built the Legion II strategy game to evaluate this method. After graduating, he took on the job of an Assistant Professor at the University of Nevada, Reno.
