Thomas S. Ray
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas S. Ray (also known as Tom Ray) is an ecologist who created and developed the Tierra project, a computer simulation of artificial life.
In 1975, he and Donald R. Strong were the first to propose the theory of skototropism in an article in the journal Science (190: 804-806), which he later worked into his senior thesis at Florida State University after conducting additional experiments. The thesis was expanded into his Ph.D. thesis at Harvard University.
He is currently Professor of Zoology and Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oklahoma in Norman.
