Guy Wyant is an infrequent illeist.
He has a great passion for Human/Computer Interaction, and hopes that user experience will continue to gain mindshare among professionals.
He enjoys writing and designing web applications, usually using PHP and MySQL, with a healthy dose of jQuery.
He loves learning about learning, and interesting ways to make the process more enjoyable and effective for all.
The use of language is one thing always crossing his consciousness: its failings, abilities, and possibilities.
He took part in a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program sponsored by the National Science Foundation in 2009.
In this REU, under the direction of the superb Dr. Douglas Harms, he and Scott Fahle redesigned the graphical subsystem of a virtual reality simulation of the ENIAC (the first reprogrammable electronic computer).
He presented his REU research at the Argonne Laboratory’s 2009 Argonne Symposium for Undergraduate Research, and at University of Evansville’s own Undergraduate Research Conference in Math, Engineering, and Science (MESCON) in March 2010.
He is soon to earn his BS in Computer Science at the University of Evansville.
He is conducting research under the direction of Dr. Tony Beavers in the Digital Humanities Laboratory.
This research will tease out a way to conduct Automatic Document Classification using Dynamic Associative Networks.
He loves TED: Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world.
He is intensely interested in human cognition and its physio-mechanical origins.
He reserves the right to change any of these things about himself.
In addendum,
He has been 100% open source since January 1, 2007, running a customized build of HS-OS, currently v4.55. If you don’t like something about him, please submit a patch.
He is also fifty percent of the dynamic duo of the Evansville Fortnightly Club, an inexpressibly brilliant venture.
His penchant for production leads him into random ventures; sometimes he records music, like the full-length album Manic Impressive and the Naively EP.
