Hello! I'm a postdoctoral scholar at UC Berkeley working with Prof. Steven Piantadosi. I'm interested in understanding how people learn, generate, and use abstractions and concepts. I'm particularly fascinated by unsupervised learning and how it may be the reason why people can learn so quickly from little data. I'm also interested in how people represent functions and data structures.
Fun
I really love music. While my primary genres are ambient and electronica, my tastes range from post rock to black metal, and from easy-going deep house to noise music. Please checkout my music library if you're curious. I always appreciate recommendations, send me an email with some anytime!
I also enjoy making "music" (sounds or noise according to others). I find modular synthesis particularly enjoyable. FM synthesis continues to tickle my ears. I love using my Eurorack synthesizer. Here's my ModularGrid for Rack 1 and Rack 2. I also enjoy interacting with the monome and VCV Rack ecosystems. I would love to jam with someone with similar interests. I'll come out with an album soon, I swear...
I enjoy reading. A lot of world news and non-fiction, but some fiction too! Currently reading A Canticle for Leibowitz. I wasn't a huge fan of A Year of Rest and Relaxation. Recommendations welcome!
I also appreciate typography and fonts. Feel free to checkout my font collection.
