His does research in cellular automata, unconventional computing, artificial life, complex systems, and swarm robotics.

"The authors succinctly describe the core ideas of the automata used to generate the beautiful images, and some of the interesting explorations that led to the particular calculations behind the images included in the book. ... The images and the reference list together make the book a valuable starting point for those interested in the theory or the art, or those who simply want to find websites where these fascinating ideas can be explored and images created." (D. T. Barnard, Computing Reviews, April, 2016) "Cellular automata (CA) are discrete time dynamical systems that consist of a regular grid of cells. ... It is primarily a collection of nice pictures that were generated by CA. ... the book should inspire the scientist to present his or her work in a pleasing and graphically attractive way, and it should invite artists to explore the possibilities to be creative with CA. ... this is a survey that can get you started to explore a catchy subject."
