Professor Anya Vostinar ’12 granted NSF funding to study symbiotic co-evolutionary algorithms
Vostinar is assistant professor of computer science at Carleton.
Anya Vostinar ’12, assistant professor of computer science, has received a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Her project, “Leveraging symbiotic co-evolution for improved problem solving,” aims to improve evolutionary algorithms and better control the evolution of microbial symbiotic relationships in biological laboratories. Vostinar and her collaborators will mentor undergraduates throughout the grant period as they conduct research at the intersection of computer science and biology.
