I’m a Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence student, interested in how abstract structures and patterns become instantiated in physical, biological, and cognitive systems, and how different forms of organization give rise to new levels of agency, intelligence, and collective behavior. My interests connect developmental biology, complex systems, neuroscience, artificial life, and the nature of mathematical structure, with a broader focus on the relationship between structure, embodiment, and emergent capabilities. I aim to translate deep scientific and philosophical questions into research and practical applications that help us evaluate whether we are truly making progress, reduce suffering, improve life, and create better conditions for all sentient beings to reach their full potential.
