More Is Different
Over the years I've contributed to research across several fields -- physics (PhD, 2016), machine learning for materials science (2016-2017), AI for healthcare and medical imaging (2017-2025), and AI for drug discoveyr (2025-2026). I was a Staff Scientist at NIH for four years and also spent three years as a Data Scientist at Mass General Brigham.
I now work as a nonprofit founder, Substack writer, and independent contractor working on projects where I see outsized expected value.
