Welcome to my virtual abode

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Brains, Minds + Machines at MIT, with broad interests in Artificial Intelligence, Neuroscience, Quantum Gravity and Mixed Reality. You can find out more about me here. To find out what my research has been so far about and where I want it to go, click here.

My research interests

Theoretical Physics

Studying the quantum nature of spacetime, by investigating both phenomenological models and bottom-up approaches like covariant Loop Quantum Gravity

Artificial Intelligence

Understanding how machines and humans learn and are capable of thinking creatively at a fundamental level, with the purpose of enhancing these processes through the use of technology.

Mixed Reality

Building a framework for multi-user mathematical collaboration with natural interactions, allowing for an exploration of a large meta-structure of related mathematical concepts
