About me

My academic path has always crossed disciplinary boundaries. Mathematics and computation taught me to approach questions through structure, models, and uncertainty; chemistry and biology keep bringing those abstractions back to natural systems that are intricate, contingent, and real. Rather than defining myself too narrowly by one field, I am drawn to the places where different disciplines can clarify one another.

Outside my research, I often return to questions that do not fit neatly within it: consciousness and personal identity, the limits of scientific knowledge, education, the ways technology reshapes society, and ordinary experiences that become less ordinary when examined closely.

This website is a place for those questions.

It is neither a résumé nor a publication list. I hope it becomes something closer to a private study kept open over many years: a home for serious essays on science and technology, but also for reading notes, travel memories, and ideas that may still be unfinished. Different pieces can carry different degrees of certainty, and some views will inevitably change with time.

If the site lasts, that change is part of what I want it to preserve.

I do not expect every essay to arrive at a final answer. Often it is enough to keep a worthwhile question intact, then return years later and see why it once seemed important—or why I once thought about it in a particular way.

I hope that, many years from now, opening this site will reveal the accumulated path of these words and the thinking behind them.
