Biography

Peter Drake (mundungus on BoardGameGeek) is interested in a wide variety of games, including Go (rank: 6 kyu), euros, word games, dexterity games, and just about anything involving space combat.

When not playing games, he is Associate Professor of Computer Science at Lewis & Clark College. He shamelessly works games into his teaching (including his textbook, Data Structures and Algorithms in Java) and his research (where he leads the Orego project to write artificially-intelligent Go-playing programs).

Peter’s other hobbies include origami and Samoan fireknife dancing.
