9-3 3) Research an artist who works creatively with programming

Kevin Karplus is a professor at University of California, Santa Cruz, currently in the Biomolecular Engineering Department. He is most famous for his work as a computer science graduate student at Stanford University. Karplus–Strong string synthesis is a  physical modeling synthesis that loops a short waveform through a filtered delay line to simulate the sound of a hammered or plucked string or some types of percussion. At the university, he taught computer engineering and very large scale integration design which is a process of creating an integrated circuit by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip. He also invented the binary decision diagram, before switching to protein structure prediction and bioformatics in 1995. 

Here is an example of the types of work that he does on his Scratch page.
