I am an undergraduate at Tufts University studying mathematics and cognitive science advised by Dr. Samantha Petti, jointly mentored by Dr. Petti and Dr. Michael Levin as I write a thesis on emergent information dynamics, scales, and goal-directedness in complex systems.
For the 2024-2025 schoolyear, I read Mathematics and Philosophy at Pembroke College, University of Oxford.
My primary interests are in graph and information theory, particularly their application to systems dynamics, self-organization, decentralization, affect, and goal-directedness. I hope to apply these principles to mechanism design and democracy.
