Dr. Matthew Patitz
Matt is an assistant professor of Computer Science and Computer Engineering at the University of Arkansas. He graduated with his PhD in Computer Science from Iowa State University in May 2010, and was an assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of Texas-Pan American from the fall of 2010 through the spring of 2012.
Matt's research interests focus mainly on self-assembling and self-organizing systems which display complexity arising from simple components and local interactions. There are many examples in the natural world of both living and non-living systems in which large numbers of small, autonomous pieces form systems that are extremely complex without any centralized control and from simple sets of rules. By studying existing systems and designing novel ones, he hopes to help illuminate fundamental properties of such systems which give rise to their complex behavior, including life. Additionally, the creation of complex artificial systems which self-assemble and self-organize could help to revolutionize many areas of technology.

Jacob Hendricks
Jacob is a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Arkansas. He is a research assistant to Dr. Matthew Patitz and is studying algorithmic self-assembly.
Jacob's interests are in the study of effective systems in which simple local interactions lead to complex global behaviors and/or structures, particularly in the areas of algorithmic self-assembly and cellular automata.

Trent Rogers
Trent is a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and the recipient of the Doctoral Academy Fellowship. In fall 2014, he started the PhD program in computer science at the University of Arkansas. He is a research assistant to Dr. Matthew Patitz.
Trent's research is focused on algorithmic self-assembly. Through self-assembling systems, we are able to appreciate and better understand the elegance and simplicity that nature uses to create the complex and chaotic natural world around us. Studying self-assembling systems does not only gives us a glimpse into the intricacies of our world, but also allows us the ability to create innovative technologies.

Contributors
Dr. Scott Summers
Scott is an assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin--Oshkosh. Scott received his BS in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin--Green Bay in 2004 and an MS and PhD in Computer Science from Iowa State University in 2007 and 2010, respectively. Scott was previously an assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin--Platteville in the department of Computer Science and Software Engineering from 2010 to 2013.
Scott's currently interested in researching theoretical Computer Science, in general, and the theory of tile self-assembly, specifically.
