Devin Wild Thomas

PhD Candidate

University of New Hampshire

I study heuristic search and situated planning.

I am a member of the UNH Artificial Intelligence Group, where I work with Professor Wheeler Ruml. I began working at UNH in 2017, working in bioinformatics at the Hubbard Center For Genome Studies, and environmental DNA with Professor Alison Watts. I have a B.Sc. with combined honours in physics and astronomy from the University of British Columbia, my undergraduate thesis was on detecting point sources in data from the CHIME telescope, supervised by Professor Gary Hinshaw.
