Sam Kriegman is an American computer scientist and roboticist. He is known for creating the xenobots and discovering their ability to self-replicate, in both cases as lead author.[5][6][7]
He received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Vermont[1] and conducted postdoctoral research in the biology department of Tufts University and Harvard University.[8][9]
His PhD research at the University of Vermont resulted in the creation of the world's first computer-designed organisms, which have become known in popular culture as the xenobots.[10][2][11][12] Whether xenobots are robots, organisms, or something else entirely remains a subject of debate among scientists.[13][14][15]
His postdoctoral research at Harvard University led to the discovery of kinematic biological replication.[16][17][3] This discovery was noteworthy in biology because it revealed a previously unknown (movement-based, rather than growth-based) form of replication in cellular clusters. In effect, this discovery proved that von Neumann replication does not require a separate description (an encoding formalized as a Turing "tape").
He is the recipient of the National Academy of Sciences' Cozzarelli Prize.[18] and is currently a professor at Northwestern University.[4]
