A Model-Driven Approach to Integrated Cognition

Abstract

Robert West for their invaluable advice and guidance during my Ph.D. program. My gratitude extends to Mr. Tony Olsen for granting me the opportunity to complete my graduate studies unabated. I would like to thank my friends, lab mates, and research teams for so many memorable discussions about life, the universe, and everything in between. I also appreciate all of the support and encouragement I received from my parents, siblings, and extended family from around the world. Finally, I would like to express my most sincere and heartfelt gratitude to my wife and our four beautiful children -for their constant affirmation, patience, and understanding throughout these many years; without which it would have been impossible for me to complete my studies. vi
