Cameron Bolitho Browne, an Australian psychologist, computer scientist, games researcher and inventor with a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence and game design from University of Queensland, and associate professor in Maastricht University's Games and AI group. His research interest includes Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) for procedural content generation in creative domains, to investigate ways in which MCTS - typically used for move planning in games - can instead be harnessed to analyze, optimize and design new games, music and artwork. Cameron Browne is co-author of the Hex-program Hex Kriger, which competed at the 11th Computer Olympiad, Turin 2006.
