Arturo Chavoya

I am originally from Mexico and at present I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Ecole Doctorale en Informatique et Télécommunications in Toulouse, France. My academic formation is in both Computer Science and Biology and I am particularly interested in studying complex systems using techniques based on biological paradigms to solve computational problems. I am currently interested in applying genetic algorithms to evolve cellular automata for modeling artificial cellular development. My main goal is to study how complex structures and forms can emerge from a small group of seed cells. I am particularly interested in the generation of structures by means of self-organization.
