-[[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~sellis|Simon Ellis]] received his PhD in 2016 from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, specialising in the application of cognitive computing to artificially intelligent agents for complex board, card and role-playing games. This remains the primary focus of his research, although he is also interested in "non-educational" computer games which permit learning as a 'side-effect' of playing the game: in particular, using such a game to help high school students to learn and understand basic computer science concepts without actively learning them. Some of his other interests include programming languages, software development, philosophy, and design, of A.I., and just about //anything// to do with games.

 Professor Hunsberger's research focus is on collaborative multi-agent systems.  In particular, he is interested in endowing computer agents with intentions, as well as an ability to reason about temporal constraints, especially in group situations.  Luke teaches CMPU-101 (Introduction to Computer Science), CMPU-145 (Foundations of Computer Science), CMPU-245 (Declarative Programming) and CMPU-365 (Artificial Intelligence).  [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~hunsberg/|Luke's web site]] contains more information re: his research interests, publications and courses.  Professor Hunsberger's research focus is on collaborative multi-agent systems.  In particular, he is interested in endowing computer agents with intentions, as well as an ability to reason about temporal constraints, especially in group situations.  Luke teaches CMPU-101 (Introduction to Computer Science), CMPU-145 (Foundations of Computer Science), CMPU-245 (Declarative Programming) and CMPU-365 (Artificial Intelligence).  [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~hunsberg/|Luke's web site]] contains more information re: his research interests, publications and courses.

 [[https://www.cs.vassar.edu/people/mlsmith/top|Professor Smith]] earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Central Florida. He worked for AT&T for fifteen years, in several different IT capacities, during which time his Ph.D. studies were sponsored by AT&T's Doctoral Support Program. His research spans elements of theoretical and experimental computer science, in the area of parallel and distributed computation. His interests include models of concurrency, bioinformatics (specifically, computational phylogeny), and programming languages (semantics, paradigms, and unifying theories). [[https://www.cs.vassar.edu/people/mlsmith/top|Professor Smith]] earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Central Florida.

 [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~pnaumov|Professor Naumov]] has Diploma in Mathematics from Moscow State University and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University, both with specialization in Logic. His present [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~pnaumov/publications.html|research]] is focused on logical systems for reasoning about multi-agent systems, information flow, formal epistemology, social networks, and game theory. Pavel coauthored over twenty peer-reviewed publications with [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~pnaumov/students.html|undergraduate students]]. Previously, he has published papers on proof complexity, type theory, automated deduction, and modal logics. Pavel is teaching Computer Science I: Problem-Solving and Abstraction, Foundations of Computer Science, Language Theory and Computation, and Special Topics course on Foundations of Multiagent Systems. [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~pnaumov|Professor Naumov]] has Diploma in Mathematics from Moscow State University and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University, both with specialization in Logic.
