Cognitive scientist.

I’m a fifth-year PhD student in the Cognitive Neuroscience & Machine Learning lab at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Dr Michael Bonner. Learn more about my research here!

Massive nerd.

Our universe is awesome, and I want to understand everything in it! My more proximate goal is to learn more mathematical tools for interpreting and developing complex, intelligent systems.

Huge geek.

I love speculative fiction – fantasy & sci-fi – with complex characters and rich worldbuilding. Recently, I’ve enjoyed Tigana and the Red Rising Saga. I’m also currently part of an amazing D&D campaign!

Free culture advocate.

Humanity thrives when knowledge is freely available. I support open science, free software and the gradual abolition of intellectual property rights. Strengthen our commons by contributing your works!
