I live on London with my wife, who studies two dimensional NEGF at Imperial. We met during the QFFF program. I study dimensional reductions with wonky boundary conditions, mostly, and favor myself a whiz at computer algebra and symbolic calculation. I fence sabre, half competitively half casually; sabre is the best weapon, have at me. I like to program videogames a bit and am a big fan of Soulsbourne.

My Interview
-
How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
Rationalist, Creative, Incessant
What did you want to be after you left school?
Myself, but perhaps a bit fitter and with more money and publications.
Were you ever in trouble at school?
CONSTANTLY! I was a discipline problem until highschool because I was constantly being bullied and wasn't good about not fighting back, or perhaps not getting caught :p.
Who is your favourite singer or band?
Epica, their lyrics are abject nonsense, but it helps me to get laser focus on anything
What's your favourite food?
Pai thai, although I have a weakness for all asian fusion.
If you had 3 wishes for yourself what would they be? - be honest!
For me and all humans to immortal in a universe that would not suffer heat death; to constantly get just a little bit cleverer until I reached the level of Bayesian superintelligence with the ability to pause this advance and restart it whenever I desired; to have the ability to stop time for everyone else and complete projects instantaneously while still getting to enjoy completing the projects.
Tell us a joke.
I have my own definition of idiosyncratic.
