James A. Foster

Laboratory for Uphill Computing

Department of Computer Science

University of Idaho


I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science, and have been at the University of Idaho since 1990. So has my friend. We are in Janssen Engineering Building, Room B24. You can call me at 208-885-7062, but I respond much better to email.

I am in the Laboratory for Applied Logic and study evolutionary computation, computational biology, computational complexity theory, and just about everything. I work with several students. I am also the faculty sponsor for the student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery, and the coach of the U. Idaho Programming Team.

I teach several classes at the U. of I. on all sorts of stuff. My teaching portfolio describes why I do this. Here is my schedule for this semester.

My wife, Martha Foster, and I have three sons: Abraham Lee, Samuel Adams, and Nathan Halley. We homeschool all three. I enjoy tying flies and fishing with them, reading classical Greek, thinking about politics and philosophy, and making or listening to music of all types. Mostly, though, I enjoy finding things out.

Here are some links that I find interesting.
