    Ransky Tech•212 followersI’m excited to share that I was accepted for presentation at the International Conference on Artificial Life (ALIFE) 2025 in Kyoto, Japan.

My paper, “Growing Reservoirs with Developmental Graph Cellular Automata,” emerged from my Bachelor’s thesis under the supervision of Dr. James Stovold (co-author). The study proposes the unexplored idea of modeling nature’s purposeful growth based on function rather than form. In this case, that function is computation.

What is particularly interesting was the emergence of recurring, “life-like” reservoirs. This suggests that structure itself might play a more important role in computation than we’ve previously assumed. If that idea sparks your curiosity too, you can read more and access the paper on my project’s website (https://lnkd.in/eyHd2XPH).

A huge thank you to the #ALIFE2025 team for their organizational efforts. As a recent undergraduate, it was an incredible opportunity to be given a presentation slot among brilliant researchers from around the world. ALIFE’s uniquely interdisciplinary spirit makes this community so welcoming and every conversation so rich.

I’m also grateful to the incredible lineup of speakers, from Blaise Agüera y Arcas (CTO of Technology & Society at Google) to Emmett Shear (Former CEO of Twitch), and to all the poster presenters. Their talks left me inspired to continue exploring this field. By studying artificial forms of life, we also learn a great deal about ourselves.
