Tyler Cody is a research associate professor of data science at the University of Virginia School of Data Science, working with the new National Security Data and Policy Institute. He is a systems theorist and machine learning researcher, with research interests in developing and applying systems theory to bridge systems engineering and artificial intelligence.
Cody uses abstract systems theory as a meta-theory for learning in order to study phenomena of interest in general learning processes. His research is applied to machine prognostics, telecommunications, computer networks, fraud detection, and computer vision, among other areas, following themes of change and reuse, lifecycles, and iterated games.
He received his Ph.D. in Systems Engineering from the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science for his work on a systems theory of transfer learning, and he earned his Bachelor of Applied Science from UVA as well with minors in computer science and applied mathematics.
