Exploring Artificial Intelligence
I am an assistant teaching professor at the University of Notre Dame. I mostly teach courses on artificial intelligence. This landing page is intended to serve both as a collection of my courses, and a list of materials that I myself am learning from. In addition to this ever lengthening list, I also maintain a modest library of books related to the topic, and encourage students to browse the library and come borrow books from me if they're interested.
