We are a multi-disciplinary group, with our primary site at Colorado State University and a smaller active site at Florida International University. Our lab includes members from diverse backgrounds of knowledge and origins. While CS-centric, former students have included majors such as Statistics, Mathematics, Biology, Psychology, Engineering, and Architecture, among others. We have had members from many countries, including USA, Cuba, Chile, Colombia, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, China, Germany, Brazil, and Venezuela, among others.
