Jared Soundy

Jared Soundy is an Assistant Professor at Dakota State University's Beacom College of Computer & Cyber Sciences. He teaches courses in Mathematics of AI, Professional Applications and Ethics of AI, Software Engineering, and Software Engineering Management.

• Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Nebraska-Lincoln
• B.A. in Computer Science from Augustana University

His expertise spans computational game theory, symbolic execution, software engineering, and computational complexity. Current research investigates whether subsymbolic AI (learning-based systems) can emulate symbolic AI (search-based behavior), focusing on theoretical and practical intersections between these paradigms.

Publications highlight his work on game-theoretic models for multidimensional congestion games, equilibrium computation algorithms, and AI ethics. Older interdisciplinary work includes analysis of genetic factors in mental health treatment outcomes, suggesting a broader interest in applying computational methods to complex systems.
