Andrew Byde

Andrew joined Acunu from HP Labs, where he spent 10 years doing research into information extraction, market-based computing and biologically-inspired complex systems.  During that time he spent 2 years as a Royal Society Industry Fellow at the University of Southampton.  Andrew obtained a PhD in Mathematics from Stanford University and an MA in Mathematics from Cambridge University.  He has 24 publications and over 20 patents to his name.

A talented CS Mage by training, Andrews' capricious nature makes him a dangerous enemy and unpredictable ally.  With his trademark spells 'Shatter Illusions', 'Twisted Reasoning' and 'Bolt of Genius' he regularly makes a mockery of traditional battle scenarios, confusing and bringing enlightenment in equal measure; those seeking to prepare themselves against him -- for example by donning a Helm of Rigid Thinking, or by invoking spells such as 'Thicken Skull', beware, his Elf nature gives him +20 on all 'Shift Paradigm' rolls.
