preventing fraud, waste and abuse.  
This research includes, but is not limited to, the evaluation and 
modification of existing methods, such as neural networks, genetic 
algorithms, fuzzy logic, n-grams, multivariate analysis, factor analysis, 
and multidimensional scaling. It may also involve the implementation of 
database interfaces.

Los Alamos National Laboratory provides excellent opportunities for
advanced research. The Laboratory operates the world's largest scientific

and techniques developed for quite a different, seemingly unrelated, area. 
Your immediate team colleagues will be working on such diverse research areas 
as automatic speech recognition, virtual reality, financial analysis, etc.
